...However, of all the things those of us who were here five years ago could have forecast -- of all the nightmares that unfolded before our eyes, and the others that unfolded only in our minds -- none of us could have predicted this.
Five years later this space is still empty.
Five years later there is no memorial to the dead.
Five years later there is no building rising to show with proud defiance that we would not have our America wrung from us, by cowards and criminals.
Five years later this country's wound is still open.
Five years later this country's mass grave is still unmarked.
Five years later this is still just a background for a photo-op.
It is beyond shameful....

"New York city has a robust political environment and New York will decide when they are ready to replace their building. The Federal Government should do exactly what they are doing. Stay out of it."
Gee, Blue State, Blue City, corrupt city council. I think that says it all.
Build a 1776 foot tall Flagpole.
On it put the worlds largest American flag.
True. I'm fed up with everyone demanding the Federal government baby sit every nook and cranny every time someone has a hangnail.
I daresay, if New Yorkers could vote for their favorite design, that would probably win.
IB4Z !!
I'm not sure I can decipher just what the Hell he's talking about.
Go back to reading scores, Keith. You had a tough enuff time with that.

You know this douchebag never played a sport? One of the few sports talking heads that has never done anything else. What a cipher.
Didn't know that but no shocker.
Have always loved the word "cipher". Fits Clinton perfectly!
But just as surely, eventually, perhaps with some time, there will be those who will not be afraid to once again reach for the heavens, and live and thrive in a country and a society whose hopes and dreams can't be defeated by the barbarians who seek to kill them. It is to them, and those who would be inspired by them to carry the dream forward, that we should dedicate our efforts to rebuilding the magnificence that was lost there, but should rise once again.
The last time I looked, this was to be built in NYC. How could this possibly be GWB's fault?
Such dopes.
NYC is a blue city.
Blame liberal Democrats for nothing getting done.
If they can't find other tenants, they could relocate the UN to the topmost section and redevelop its existing site....
Keith, your career effectively died the millisecond you stepped out of the ESPN studios for the last time. You just haven't figured it out yet.
This is really going to hurt Bush's re-election chances.
Thanks for the information. I only recognize a few of those tenants . . . are they going to come anywhere close to filling a 52-story office building?
