	fantastic quiz! A great list to memorize. How did Time never name John Glenn? Deep Throat would have been a fun choice too.

	There are many substantive omissions from Time's list, but it's hard to conceive of the 20th century without Mao Zedong. One would think that Mandela would have made the list at some point, too.

	Mandela did, sort of. He's one of "The Peacemakers" along with de Klerk, Arafat, and Rabin.

	ElDavo, I'm pretty sure the original intent of the title of person of the year was that it was to be awarded to the biggest newsmaker of the year, regardless of whether or not they were pretty much just evil. I'm pretty sure the reason Giuliani won in 2001 instead of bin Laden was because Time didn't want to upset people.

	Wow, someone doesn't like Republicans. Hard to claim Bush I is an **. Also, Bono is annoying, but unlike other entertainment bigmouths, he puts his money where his mouth is, and does a ton of fantastic work. Regardless of what Nixon did with the elections, he absolutely deserved to be named for getting the ball rolling with China. I still think ElDavo's post was intended to say that Hitler was on there because he did bad things, not because he's an . A lot of the people you listed as an ** (exceptions: Putin, Khomeini, You, Stalin) made the cut for doing positive things.

	I was trying to guess Hoover and got the guy from 1996.

	Was quick to add Barack Obama for 2008

	The quiz should accept Deng for Deng Xiaoping since it accepts surnames for all the other folks. And how exactly are the American Soldier and American Fighting-Man different? Either should catch both answers.

	I've just started this quiz simply to enter the answer the question to 2006. Haven't got a clue who the rest are!!

	in 1993 shouldn't arafat and rabin count for the peacemakers?

	i wasted a good two minutes trying to spell salassie. blast.

	Every president from Roosevelt to Bush Jr., except Ford, and all of them were named while in office. Real creative, Time. But of the other hand, they WERE big newsmakers.

	id think john paul "2" and john "23" should be acceptable along with "ii" and "xxiii."

	crazylegs:	Jun 25th, 2009 at 21:39 GMT	3 points
	@aloxin. did you call the popes ****s? im not catholic but thats pretty harsh. john paul ii was a good guy

	thisisaname:	Jul 20th, 2009 at 18:42 GMT	1 point
	@Rossum: agreed. Also, the quiz should accept FDR for Roosevelt.

	cheganmaney:	Jul 28th, 2009 at 07:43 GMT	2 points
	shouldn't Wallis Simpson or Wallis, Duchess of Windsor be acceptable for Mrs. Wallis Simpson?

	If you're looking for dislikable people in the list don't overlook Laval who was shot after WW2 by the French for being a traitor. He also stabbed the Abyssinians in the back in the 1930s.
