they ought to put this up to public vote. Let the people who were attacked decide how to best memorialize things.

One remembers the Gary Larson cartoon of the deer with the target-shaped markings on its chest: "Bummer of a birth mark, Hal!"

Or to put it less obliquely: ANY buildings that go up there will be nothing but big EMPTY targets for another pair of aircraft. Alas.

This is why we must kill the Islamists. People who live in caves should not decide our urban planning.

OK... so we go ahead and paint a couple of big-a** red circular targets on them.

Dare them.

For some reason this really makes sense to me.

RBJ takes great delight in annoying those who support the anti-Muslim genocide committed by Serbians during the Balkan wars.

Hmmmm, and didn't it just come out that the Serb leader Maholovich saved hundreds of downed U.S. aviators while the Moslems were forming up Waffen SS brigades?

I still prefer the design of 2 shorter buildings, one tall building and one more short building. The design that resembles the international hand signal "Eff U".

Ditto. This is the only one that has touched me.

This is not the thread to discuss Serb genocide. Take it outside.

Just pointing out that Madeline Albright and Bill Clinton may not be the most reliable sources on who the bad guys are, and that we have been decieved about who they were in the past, too.

Just pointing out that I was in the Balkans 2 1/2 years, long enough to know who the bad guys were in the latest conflict: the Serbs. Been there, got coffee cup.

And no more. This thread is not about the Balkans. Let us be silent.

"The Plan of the People"

That should say it all. Why "Conservatives" would support this is a mystery.

BTW - The original was also a "Plan of the People" and a boondoggle.

This thread is about slapping down the Moslems who think terror can intimidate us.

This design says "We will not be intimidated".

This is a worthy message, IMHO, the only one worth sending.

We can either be a country that can absorb their best shot and build something even bigger and better, or we can wimper in the dark and hope they don't hurt us.

From my experience with dogs and other vicious animals, the former be respected and the latter will invite more attacks.

Just M(NS)HO.

I've seen what happens when fanatics think in those terms: four thousand dead Muslim men, shot in the back of their heads with their hands tied behind their backs.

Genocide is genocide regardless of who is on the receiving end.

This thread is about rebuilding the Towers. Take your bigotry elsewhere.
