...have fond memories of my family's noisy, heated discussions about whom TIME would select as Person of the Year. It was as traditional as the fish dinner we eat on Christmas Eve. Whoever guessed right had bragging rights for the next year. I applaud your wonderful choice of the American soldier. These men and women most probably did not expect to go to war when they signed up for the military or the reserves.

We should take heart when China’s rulers move toward codifying private property rights and allow Chinese Christians to celebrate Christmas, both of which they did last month. We should applaud and encourage experiments with local democracy, manifested chiefly (since the early 1990s) in the growth of village elections in the countryside. America’s anti-China lobby can sometimes go overboard, depicting China as the new Soviet Union (or the new “evil empire”). While the severity...
