The capture of Saddam Hussein means that Time will have to find someone else for their Man of the Year pick. Of course it won't be Bush. They usually make the winner of the Presidential election the Man of the Year for that year, so they're hoping to save Dean for 2004. Who else is there? Schwarzenegger is a Republican. Joseph Wilson IV may be too obscure. Tony Blair might be a possibility...but they'd prefer someone whose selection would be seen as a slap at Bush.

Last year it was The Whistleblowers, and look at what happened. This year, Senate committee staffers whistleblew by leaking memos showing Democrat complicity in obstructing judicial nominees and planning to use secret intelligence against the president. Suddenly, whistleblowers aren't what they used to be.

I think that this year they will find some kind of inanimate object like they did with the Year of the Computer, just to deny Bush his due in changing the geopolitical shape of the world.
