osama bin laden - man of the year?

[stillwater15]

what do you think about osama bin laden being named time magazine's man of the year?

i was watching tv earlier today and he pretty much seems to be a lock. however, there are a lot of people who are protesting big time, about his receiving this "honor". a few past controversial recipients were stalin and ayatullah khomeini.

this is the basic criteria, according to the time magazine website:

each of the last 70 years, TIME has presented a man of the year--the single person (man, woman, or even idea) who, for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year.
