The Iraqi voter is actually starting to emerge as a serious contender to all the natural disaster doom&gloom.

Do you think they'll sell more copies if they put a distant foreign country on the cover or a bleak story about natural disasters? Neither of them seems to be a commercial smash.

I wouldn't be surprised if, for that reason, it's Bill Gates or some other prominent American.

Omg Hugh, your psychic powers are amazing

Yeah, they have not picked a non-American since John Paul II in 1994, which is a record run of 11 consecutive years now I believe. The previous record was the tumultous 1963-69.

Bill Gates.. what did he do THIS YEAR exactly, as opposed to all the other years?

All I can think of is XBOX360, which didn't even sell that well.

Maybe he donated an extra-large, even by his standards, amount of money to charity.

Well at least one forum member got picked !!
