    Terrorists & Topical Terrorist Targets

    Yes, probably the USA killed Bin Laden, but nevertheless he was first funded and supported by the USA, same game with Saddam and many other despots. Radguy is right. unfortunately the USA lost much of trust worldwide.

    What a shame, that the committee didnt consider such a big Name like Helmut Kohl. Fortunately he was in my personnel DL. Now I have to think about a suitable german Substitute for next year. Rest in Peace to one of the most important german politician

    Beverly Cleary

    sure, this is what I meant with "worldwide perspective". may be possible that he enjoys a local fame in USA or Canada. but otherwise in the world he is largely unknown. Just check the main media from asia or rest of europe, beside UK, or for example check the non english speaking country-specific wiki pages, he has even no entry in almost everyone of them, on the whole he`s a nobody in most parts of this world. in Terms of world-wide name-recognition he is not in the slightest comparable with really well known people like kirk douglas, helmut kohl, Olivia NJ and so on, Nothing for bad, only my humble opinion

    Beverly Cleary

    If someone is "notable" or not depends also on the own personal perspective. In my opinion she is well known enough, not only in USA and i would mean on a worldwide perspective she is even more notable than people like bracknell, downie, sandy gall, gay byrne or erroll christie
