[q="Czech. Republic"]Person of the Year shouldn't be based on pure achievement, but integrity and positive actions. I'm sure that plenty of people in the public eye have had a more positive effect on the world than President Bush over the past year, and it seems unfair that they should not be acknowledged over a man who accomplished a lot, but for all the wrong reasons.[/q]

The thing is...person of the year is given to the person who influenced the news/world the most in that given year. That's why hitler and stalin both won it. That's why Osama bin Laden almost won it in 2001.
