In case you weren't paying attention, they won. They did erase the buildings, murdered 3,000 of our citizens. They won that round.
I have no problem acknowledging that. It is the site of one of our greatest defeats.

If you read my post, you might have noticed that I advocated encorporating the facade and the cross in the memorial. Dorky liberal "reflecting pools" and eternal flames have nothing to do with the terrorist attack.
