(8,543 posts)6. Time's 2007 Person of the Year would be on the list of possible choices.
TIME's Person of the Year is not and never has been an honor. It is not an endorsement. It is not a popularity contest. At its best, it is a clear-eyed recognition of the world as it is and of the most powerful individuals and forces shaping that worldfor better or for worse. It is ultimately about leadershipbold, earth-changing leadership. Putin is not a boy scout. He is not a democrat in any way that the West would define it. He is not a paragon of free speech. He stands, above all, for stabilitystability before freedom, stability before choice, stability in a country that has hardly seen it for a hundred years. Whether he becomes more like the man for whom his grandfather prepared bliniswho himself was twice TIME's Person of the Yearor like Peter the Great, the historical figure he most admires; whether he proves to be a reformer or an autocrat who takes Russia back to an era of repressionthis we will know only over the next decade. At significant cost to the principles and ideas that free nations prize, he has performed an extraordinary feat of leadership in imposing stability on a nation that has rarely known it and brought Russia back to the table of world power. For that reason, Vladimir Putin is TIME's 2007 Person of the Year.

Automatically do what is right and just. Not even a glimmer of politics, as usual...debate, as usual...inaction, as usual. He tells the people to make Molotov cocktails and by sunset the people say we converted the brewery and have a million made, is that enough? Hyperbole - but you get the point. So refreshing

The whole country is working together with one goal, one purpose. No BS.
