Rebuild the Twin Towers to look just like the ones that fell. Nothing will show our resolve more than if we rebuild them to look exactly the same and nothing will piss the terrorists off more than if we rebuild what they knocked down.
If we build something different, they win.
Eff al-Queda and let Osama bin Laden rot in hell!

That would have been my preference as well.
I hope they found a corner of hell hot enough.
Damn them all.

I would perfer we leave the holes where the Twin Towers once stood. I am less interested in flipping the bird to AQ than I am reminding Americans why we fight the scum, to kill the bastards. And believe me, our memories are short but AQ is patient.
Want to know why I say that? Read Paul Krugman today. How long before the memory of ten years ago is wiped from the American consciousness? Some have already forgotten.

A lot of other people behaved badly.
Yeah, including this author.

How about we build something? Ten years on and we can't even figure out what to build there. I'd be happy if they made a decision, a memorial to those lost and a new building to replace what was gone.

Actually guys, they have finally gotten off the dime and buildings are going up at the WTC site.
But 10 years after ... Ground Zero should not be a construction site, the damned job should be done by now.

Ground Zero should not be a construction site, the damned job should be done by now. I'll give the powers that be some leeway as far as cleaning up 16 acres of wreckage. But when the architects got in to a pissing match and held the whole thing up, that irked me to say the least. F |

I've always been partial to this one: lol! I do like the memorial they have at the site. It's respectful and dignified considering how many people's remains are still buried beneath the site. They are building in the area, around the foot print of the Twin Towers, overall, I'm happy with it. I grew up watching the towers being built slowly but steadily becoming a new part of the NY skyline. It's not that those buildings are gone, it's that the hatred, the religious motivation that went into destroying them and thousands of people and trying to destroy our nation is what should never be forgotten. |

The Twin Towers were doomed from the day they opened. They contained asbestos up to the 64th or so floors and the aluminum facing was bolted directly to the underlying steel columns, resulting in a process called galvanic corrosion from the marine environment that would have eventually caused pieces of the facing to fall to the ground. The asbestos remediation and the retrofitting of the exterior fasteners, along with the necessary utility upgrades to keep it functionally modern would have cost more than it did to build them originally. A great many New Yorkers also found them very ugly and the concourse was said to be quite unpleasant on a windy day. By 2001, they were a heavy financial burden with low tenancy and high operating costs. In May 2001, the New York Port Authority lost its 10-year lawsuit against the building's insurers that sought hundreds of millions of dollars for asbestos remediation and other issues. Of course, they could not be legally taken down by demolition using explosives because of the asbestos. The only other legal solution would have been to build scaffolding around them and dismantle piece by piece. This would have cost vastly more than it did to build them. The only answer was to fly airplanes into them and then blow them up from top to bottom, blame it on the Muslims, clamp down on our civil rights, and launch the highly lucrative war on terror, all the while serving our Israeli masters by wreaking havoc on their enemies in the Middle East.

Seems to me I've heard this one before. How's about getting to the punch line? |

The punch line, Sir, is that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were a state crime against democracy, or inside job, if you will.
