...Your selecting Putin as Person of the Year surprised me. I was expecting Al Gore. However, your choice was correct. Recognition of Putin as a world leader has been long overdue. The West needs to engage him and work with him, not against him. Russia's importance in the world cannot be ignored. The country still has a big nuclear arsenal and substantial oil reserves.

I know if my groom couldn't make it to our own wedding, I would turn him down and the webcam...
...agree with the view, espoused by some of my American colleagues, that this regime is dangerous for Russia only: the export of corruption, merged with the state machinery, is no better than the export of revolution. And that is why I believe that Putin was the correct choice as Person of the Year - because no other person this year made a deeper or more fateful impact on history, present and yet to come...
