"Other structures have nowhere near the notoriety and notability of the WTC site."

Oh, so the terrorists will just leave us alone as long as we don't try to re-build? They'll just say "Oh, well, we can't attack them right now, they don't have anything with the notoriety of the WTC site!"

Grow up. I didn't suggest that. You made that self serving remark up and are imputing it to me. That's unfair and totally offbase.

I support the war on terror and in fact wish it were more agressive.

I never suggested the terrorists would leave us alone. I don't know where you got that. Again, you made it up and impute it to me.

In fact, things will get worse before they get better. Many folks don't like to think that but I know its true.

We as a nation will get hit again whether we rebuild or not. I didn't speak to that issue and it is unclear why you would confuse that. That's not the point.

What I am saying is simple: Securing the construction site for the tallest building in the world in NYC at the site of the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history during a protracted war on terror, where we have not taken enough steps domestically to secure our border, cancel student and work visas, etc.

Again, people will die. And for what? A 'Freedom Tower' project that will have to be abandoned because a bomb will blow up on the site once every week to 10 days.

So someone in Louisiana can pump up his fist and say 'bring it on,' and feel good about himself? That's a pretty safe distance to be talking like a hero, son.
