I think that one of the feelings about the design is that we just want our towers back. Nothing else will be able to fill that spot except for those towers, so I say build them again, only make them more beautiful than before.

I think you're ABSOLUTELY right, this is one big reason for no satisfaction in these designs. Everything else looks relatively pathetic. Sadly, and yet understandably on so many levels, what may stop this from happening is fear. How would you answer the concerns that it would be a total target for future attacks and that people would be afraid to work in them? Maybe the idea mentioned above about them being "hollow" or not inhabited above certain floors except for the observation deck is a really good one.

Courage defeats fear. We have to face the fact that everything is a target. A rebuilt WTC bigger and better than before will be a target, but so will a smaller and fearful WTC. Unless America wants to retreat underground, we have to be defiant in the face of the barbarians who seek to kill us. Mainly, that means getting them before they get us.

All of these proposed designs are so much wasted time anyway when there are perfectly good designs already on the books, and that is what was there before, perhaps with an added story or two, and improvements such as can be made to enhance safety and security. But the best security is proactively eliminating the terrorists where they live.
