Vladimir Putin is Time's Person of the Year 2007

Great story in Time Magazine.

Update: Romney calls the decision "disgusting". McCain says it should have been Gen. Petraeus. Their statements reveal their ignorance. Being Time Magazine's Person of the Year is not an honor or an endorsement (it has named Sadat, Andrapov, Khomeini, Hitler and Stalin in the past). It is a statement of the person who has had the most influence on the world during the year. Gen. Petraeus doesn't even come close (despite being named a runner up). And Romney's comments about Putin being ruthless are echoed in the Time Magazine article itself, revealing that he hasn't bothered to read it before trashing it. And my vote would have been Al Gore.
