A Soldier Disagrees With TIME
Jason Van Steenwyk, a blogging Army officer in the thick of it in Iraq, thinks TIME magazine's choice for Person of the Year misses the mark:
Don't these guys ever go out on a limb, anymore? If there was ever a year for a President to be named "Man of the Year," 2003 was it! This war was not some Tolstoyan tital [sic]
wave of popular sentiment that carried President Bush along with it. The war that toppled Saddam Hussein--for good or for ill--was overwhelmingly the product of a single will--George W. Bush's ... Time is defining their "Man of the Year" concept out of all usefulness.
