I would name Colin Powell person of the year not Bush.

You know, the pair of you are something.

Before I tell you what complete broadbrushing twats you are being, would you please tell me whether or not when you say "Americans", you are speaking of the military or Americans in general? Thank you.

TIME's choices for Person of the Year are often controversial. Editors are asked to choose the person or thing that had the greatest impact on the news, for good or ill—guidelines that leave them no choice but to select a newsworthy—not necessarily praiseworthy—cover subject.

Might have just as easily been Brittany Spears. Bet she's heartbroken.
