We, the undersigned, share the belief that nothing could be more inspiring to our people, or disheartening to our enemies, than Twin Towers, at least as tall as before in every respect, soaring above Ground Zero.
We believe that the devastation of September 11, 2001 clouded the picture long after the rubble was cleared away and that a thorough public examination of the rebuilding option is overdue and now required before proceeding on an unalterable course.
We recognize no financial or political roadblocks that cannot be overcome if rebuilding the Towers is the will of the people. And, we see no conflict between stunning Twin Towers and a noble Memorial, which belong together on this site that means so much to us all.
We submit that there is only one way to truly heal the skyline of Manhattan and the heart of America: Rebuild the Twin Towers. Doing anything less would leave a permanent scar on the face of New York and diminish a legendary city.

Thanks, Teen!
Whatever happens to Ground Zero will be determined solely by financial considerations.
However hallowed it may now be, on 10 Sept. 2001 the WTC was basically an exercise in architectural brutality that was losing its economic (and sole) reason for being to modern communications. Rebuilding it would be a mistake.
...and I'm going offline.
No, stop it, I really mean it this time.
Honestly, I have to get showered and get ready for work. And I have some shopping to do.
I'm with these guys, but they're too late. I can see down into the pit from my office window. They are already well into the the early stages of laying the foundation for the idiotic Freedom Tower.
