Vladimir Putin: Time's Person of the Year

1. Manifesto? I think you meant to use a different word, I just can't figure out which one.

2. Man of the Year doesn't mean they like him (Hitler was "Man of the Year," too) it just means they think he was important/influential. That said, I don't see how Putin beat out Ahmadinejad (or Al Gore for that matter). Putin deserves to be in the top 10, but not #1.

Putin is one of those Russian Leader no-brainer choices. Getting the general Russian population to love and idolize him would be as natural a task as getting South Louisiana to vote for Edwards again.
