While TIME's "Person of the Year" award to "The American Soldier" is a good choice (and better than, say, Howard Dean), one wonders why George W Bush wasn't even on the list of contenders. Yes, Wolfowitz, Rumsfield and Bremer get noticed, but so do Jessica Lynch, Kim Jong Il, Frank Gehry and a number of folks you have to google to identify. But not President Bush. Does seem like an odd oversight, if not an intentional snub.
Oh, and most of TIME is now behind a subscriber-only wall. Sigh. Par for the course.
