   Time's man of the year has always been the person that has shaped history -- either positively or negatively. Hitler was also Man of the Year once. I think Osama and Adolph make a nice couple.

   Peace.

   *Time probably will go with Osama. The criterion is importance, whether for good or evil. If they don't, who else is there? President Bush? The flight 93 passengers? All the 9-11 victims?-- J.S.

   *My grandmother was thrilled when they issued the Roosevelt postage stamp (back in the 50's?). Every time she put on one a letter, she slapped it hard to make sure it was on tight, and also to tell FDR what she thought of him.

   *I am not surprised that Time wants Osama as Man of the Year. What's next? Perhaps seeing American-turned-Taliban-member John Walker sing "God Bless America" at the Super Bowl? Seems that praising evil has become a trend lately--anyone remember that Arafat won the Nobel?

   Did I see somewhere that Time is considering Osama as Man of the Year? Part of their criteria is that the person has to have had great influence on world history/events. Well, he sure qualifies there. But I can't imagine they would do such a thing. But then isn't the purpose of the media to sell papers (or magazines or air time), and not necessarily to report the news?
