Actually that's wrong. It is not the end result of my logic.

Here goes:

I said we shouldn't rebuild at the WTC site now because it would be a very vuilnerable target during this time of war.

I didn't speak to any macro conclusion like you (wrongly) came up with. "If we don't rebuild, we won't be attacked." has nothing to do with it. It is odd that you would come to that conclusion - it makes no sense, big picture wise.

All I was saying is, and I am correct, that it is going to be difficult and not worthwhile to try and secure the construction site of such a fat, slow, and vulnerable target.

That does not specifically speak to any other targets or hits we might or might not endure, notwithstaning. In fact, I was explicit about that last point in my last post. Talk about pointing things out - you either can't or won't follow the thought process properly.

As for your words about forcing people to work at a construction site, they are shallow and immature. Nobody signs on to a domestic constuction job with the understanding that they might get murdered.

When people die because of terrorist sabotage at the construction site on a regular frequency, a remark like yours won't be very welcome. In fact, it suggests some kind of mental illness.

"I didn't speak to any macro conclusion like you (wrongly) came up with. "If we don't rebuild, we won't be attacked." has nothing to do with it."

So then you're suggesting that this site differs fundamentally from the rest of the country. Not just a matter of it being more vulnerable because it's a construction site, because, or being a more obvious target. Construction sites will always be harder to secure and tall buildings will always be more obvious targets. So, for the above to not be a macro conclusion, then this site has to, somehow, follow a completely different set of rules than any other place in the country.

"In fact, I was explicit about that last point in my last post. Talk about pointing things out - you either can't or won't follow the thought process properly."

It might have something to do with my not being able to jump over the gaping hole.

"As for your words about forcing people to work at a construction site, they are shallow and immature. Nobody signs on to a domestic constuction job with the understanding that they might get murdered."

Well then you'll be proven wrong if they get a crew to work on the site.
