Ground Zero still a hole in the ground nine years later

American Thinker "Americans also want two new towers built - even taller than the originals. This is important to us because it symbolizes that America cannot be brought down. If you can't agree on a new design, then construct two towers of the original design utilizing modern materials.
"Prove America is still the place where great efforts are not only dreamed, but realized. Prove New Yorkers are the proud and resilient people we know you to be.
"Act as leaders, not as politicians. Get over your power trips, edifice complexes, and political agendas - build a 9/11 memorial and rebuild the towers."
I loved the way the Pentagon was restored with no signs of damage. What a great way to give the finger to the terrorists: "The building is just as it was; your acts meant nothing." Unfortunately the new memorial outside that traces the flight path to the building looks more like a tribute to the hijackers, one they can point to with pride and say, "Look what we did!"
