  The process of soft diffractive dissociation in hadronic collisions is
discussed in the framework of the Miettinen-Pumplin model. A good description
of the data in the ISR-Tevatron energy range is found. Predictions for the
total, elastic and single diffractive cross sections for the LHC are also
presented. The total cross section is expected to be 15% smaller than that
given by Donnachie and Landshoff in the model with soft pomeron. The
diffractive cross section remains constant in the Tevatron-LHC energy range.
