There some serious wanking going on here. There are far more important things in the USA [and indeed the world] to spend all that money on, public health, a good welfare programme, fixing up the mess that the USA has created in various parts of the world. Why should we be building monuments to the greatest wank that we call capitalism? Why are people rushing to embrace this crap - they can build a new WTC, but the world is not gonna be any safer. America [and the coalition of arse lickers, sorry the willing] are gonna continue making a mess of the world for the own interests! Why is America spending so much on military shit when so many of tis people go hungry?

I have mixed feelings on this one.

I was hoping that the site of WTC will be turned into a memorial park for the victims so we can pay our respects and remember the tragedy. But then, its good that we are rebuilding to show the terrorists that we continue to prevail in the face of tragedy and we are willing to move on with our lives.

Nonetheless, the design is beautiful. Wickedeyed is right...it does look like a gem sticking out of the ground. I can imagine it ll be breathtaking once it is completed.

I second you, I_AM_I, I agree with that it should be created for a permanent memorial park in memory of those who lost their lives on that fateful day. I believe it'll be a better and greater way of showing our respect.

While war and terrorism and human beings continue to fight and oppress other human beings, building memorials ot the dead is a futile and pointless excercise.

If we all worked towards ending war, terrorism and oppression, then I can appreciate the memorial...but until then, all this memorial as a way of showing respect is pointless. It achieves nothing other than to allow the people like Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney et al to put their own spin on things like this to justify their state sanctioned terrorist activities into other countries.

If you want tos erve the victims memories, do so while fighting war, terrorism and oppression. When we win the fight against these, then the victims lives would not have been in vain.

Remember, Saddam was in power with US support!
 
This is quite a sticky issue that everyone has to go through -- whether it'd be worth the losses of lives in wars and so forth. There will always be controversies surrounding this.
