Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
For me, the most influential person is the Dalai Lama!. The Dalai Lama is the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetan people!.
Millions of Buddhists turn to him for inspiration!. The current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso is 72 years old and he is currently in exile in India!. He is a noted public speaker and a "charismatic" figure!. He is the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West and spread Buddhism!. He promoted ethics and religious harmony!. Would you believe that he was also given a honorary Canadian Citizenship, U!.S!. Congressional Gold Medal and a Nobel Peace Prize!?

I'd think it would be George W Bush and his enemy Osama Bin Laden!.
EDITl I agree with Flower, it's only 9 years into this century!. However, people will remember the War on Terror, the 2003 Vietnam!. The effects of this war is going to last for a long time!. Bush is very good candidate because he was a president who won despite more people voting for Gore!. Right now, you'd have to go with Bush who has dragged America into war with misinformation and is the leader during the Great Credit Crunch!.
But's it is too early!. In 20 years, there might be WW3, and a saviour might come to stop that, you say he's the most influential person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you mean 20th century!? We've only been in the 21st for 9 years so it's a little early to be choosing a prominent figure!.
Is your question who is the most prominent figure of the last 9 years!?
I'd say Hu Jintao who is the president of China!. He advocates a systematic approach to national structure and development that combines dynamic economic growth, a free market energized by a vigorous “nonpublic” (i!.e!., private) sector!. He is the first 'modern' President of China!. At the end of this century when China is the world's leading super power no one is even going to know who George Bush was!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
