Rebuilding the World Trade Center!

I'm opening this thread for discussion of the plans to rebuild the World Trade Center.

I personally am very excited about this. It's our way of saying that the terrorists will not have the last word, and that terrorism will not prevail. I think that that message is far more wholesome than the message that would be sent by building a memorial there. A memorial would, of course, have very positive aspects. Remembering the dead is very important. But in my view, building that would also be a message of defeat rather than victory, and that's why I prefer the construction that is going on.

I'm glad they have such an emphasis on safety as well:
