World Trade Centre reconstruction.
I've just saw on the news, the Americans are having the World Trade Centre in New York rebuilt. Am I the only one opposed by this? I mean, there are still hundreds of bodies burried under the rubble, is nothing sacred anymore? That's like building a fast food store atop an ancient Indian burrial ground.

I take it you havent read much on the news lately. The ruins have been gone for a good couple MONTHS, near to a YEAR or more... As for sacredness, that plot is one giant memorial ground. The REASON theyre building there is going to be as 1. a sign that we are moving on and 2. the buildings themselves are going to be a giant memorial to those who died. I know you guys down under really dislike the americans, but please, Read up information before you oppose something, please... |

Yes, the debris has been cleared for some time now. They should rebuild, but not another structure like before.

IMO rebuilding the World Trade Center is basically setting us up for a re-run of what happend on 9/11. Besides, isn't out economy in rough enough shape as it is?

9/11
Whoa, I'm out of the loop, didn't know they were going to rebuild. I like the aspect of showing the world we've moved on and the fact that the buildings will be memorials is good too.

I'm glad they're rebuilding them. It's about time we moved on. Not to say we won't forget what happened, I think we need to stop dwelling in the past though.
And in case anybody didn't know, more people have jobs in America right now, than at any time during the Clinton Administration. The stock market now is officially and completely recovered from the 9-11 attacks and then some. Woohoo for America!
