Time's MOTY has always been the person who has had the most impact, for good or ill. Although GWB would be my emotional choice, I have to admit that OBL is probably the correct choice under that definition. As pointed out, past "winners" have included Hitler, Stalin and I believe Khomeni

Hmmm. While OBL would be the obvious choice (he did, after all, kick off World War IV), I still would think GWB is the more appropriate choice.

My reasoning is thus: What's more newsworthy?

1. Inciting 19 thugs to kill thousands of civilians in an effort to provoke the United States to lash out
2. Leading a fractious nation of 280 million people to slowly, methodically uproot and exterminate the international networks of terrorists, while lining up the regimes that sponsor them to knock 'em down, one by one, like the villians in karate movies, thus preserving for future generations the blessings of liberty?

Number 2, for my money, is the more newsworthy of the two.

I gotta ask, did I fall asleeep and miss WWIII? I would have thought it would have made the newspapers.
