Sharon is a disrespectful egoist who's bent on driving a countries foreign policy for his own personal vendetta, so not him. (even though it can be evil people, he's not so much evil as a dumb sh!t)

Coleen Rowley, (for those who don't know is chief legal advisor for FBI and wrote a memo that criticized the FBI for ignoring warning signs of a possible terrorist attack on the United States on sept 11) is just not important enough.

Colin Powell... welll maybe, but he's been minimalized by the restrainsts of Bush's cabinet (namely Rumsfeld, the ultimate *******)

Rice.. wouldn't be bad, because she also hates Rumsfeld.

Corporate Crooks, well it's not a person is it?

**** Cheney, oh come ON!? Please?! Person of the year not person of 1864 b.c.

Rumsfeld, the fact that they even consider this guy shows how propagandilized and dumbed down Time has become.

Eminem, yippee for music culture and all, but... er... culture?

Musharraf, no one of course remebers that this guy is a military dictator who only speeds democracy along in Pakistan with a few golden handshakes from the US. Is it a wonder that India and Pakistaan usually come to (nuclear) blows when Pakistaan is under military governance and not civilian?

GW Bush, er... look at the economy, among many things.

Karzai, now this I wouldn't mind.

Martha Stewart, er... someone tell me why she is being considered?

Osama bin Laden, well, it IS about movers and shakers for good or evil, and this guy did shake sh!t up, so why not?

The suicide bomber, well, no, because these are poor brainwashed individuals having their strings pulled by *******s. not fair.

And Arafat should just piss off. He's lost control, respect, and desency and brings shame to the Nobel Peace prize he won. Peace. Hah!

Anyone notice how there are so many of the US cabinet present on the list? er... makes ya think?!

In the end I voted for Karzai, maybe with this morale push he can do even better of the good and tough job he's doing.

er.... Sauron?

don't you mean Sharon? Ok, there IS little difference between them, and I'm sure he'd want the One Ring, but honestly.... I think you've been watching Fellowship too often...

That's why OBL should have won last year, or at least Dubya. Giuliani was a cop-out.

Yes, last year should have been Osama. He's given Bushie his "reasons" for his agenda. The whole "were at WAR" excuse.

(And, just as small mini-troll: Americans actually buy into the excuse )

Tired of ads?

Time is an American magazine. Only Americans should be voting on this poll. The fact that the poll is being so heavily skewed by partisans of the conflict between Israel and Palestine proves this. I think that both Sharon and Arafat should be removed from the poll immediately.

Got spare money?

Time may be American based, but it has an international readership. Most of it's stories have to do with foreign relations and all. That's why it's person of the year and not American of the year, but yeah Sharon and Arafat are crap on this as they haven't done anything grand enough this year and are just a place for partisans to hedge their bets.

But Like I said, the rest of the people suck too. Why the hell isn't Sid Meier on there for example? oh... might have something to do with the UN wonder....
