The Saudis should be made to pay. No muslim takeover, just the money will do.

If nineteen Saudi nationals hijacked four Chinese airliners and crashed them into Shanghai, causing three thousand deaths and over a trillion dollars damage to their economy, they wouldn’t be collecting fees for a museum or debating the site of the victory mosque.

Does the 9/11 museum even explain why 9/11 happened?

And not just that it is G Bush’s fault.

And what exactly are the operating costs? Electricity for the lights, fountain, air handling. Litter. What else? Paying “managers” big bucks to do nothing?

Almost forgot to mention...

They need the fee so they can pay someone to collect the fee.

The Pearl Harbor memorial has no fee. It includes a boat ride from the visitor’s center and back, and a visit to the memorial over the sunken battleship USS Arizona.

That’s fine. Most people can not go there and pay nothing.

Doubt it will mention the word Islam or that they were from Saudi. Would bet a $100 bucks on it. So unlikely I will ever “pay” to visit.

I do not need to pay to see the 9/11 museum. I saw all I needed to see on 9/11/2001.

The Ground Zero Mosque guy has bought properties on either side of that location.

Children and the poor won’t go. And they will forget about it, since it is underground.

I hope nobody ever shows up at that place. It’s a travesty. I’ve gotta say, New York is dead to me. In my youth it was the center of the world.

Gotta pay the salaries and benefits of the union workers. It’ll be 100$ a pop in 5 years.
