Time names Bush 2004 ‘Person of the Year’

Hmm, nice flannel shirt, maybe even Burberry, nikes and levis. Must of course be his urban camouflage, but he'd blend in better in NYC.

That was Bush's second time, and his father was named it once himself too. I think that's becoming too much of a monopoly and someone is more deserving of the honors. The American military was last years, so they probably wouldn't do the same two years in a row. Heck, I'm thinking Bill Gates, we all wouldn't be in a forum if it weren't for him, terrorists wouldn't have their forums and sites and news wouldn' t be so prolific, and no Al Gore didn't invent the World Wide Web. This all started with the simple Microsoft Disk Operatiing System he stole long ago.......

euh why is he the person of the year? I'd choose this guy.

How could you choose that guy when no one knows who he is? How could you choose any of them, they wear rags on their faces?

Take Care..

Exept unlike Hitler and Stalin, he isn't planning on the mass genocide of 11,000,000 people. Terrorist on the other hand...well...Whatever it takes, right guys.

Martinez,

I believe there were better choices, surely. However, you should understand that the criteria for this dubious honor does not require one's leadership abilty to be measured. So the fact that Bush is holding the same distinction as the other two world leaders you mention really is something of a moot point in the context of "great"ness.
In case you missed it, here is Time's criteria as noted on their website:

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.
