1. 9/11 should not be a national holiday, while there were thousands of people effected, however there were many more thousands of people who were NOT effected, IMO it's unneccessary. However, in NYC, out of respect for victims and their families/friends, schools and businesses should be closed that day.
2. I am dead against reparations for 9/11 victims families, reason a: who would pay them? the terrorists won't, reason b: everyday a child/parent/sibling/other relative/friend gets murdered, do we get reparations for that? No. No killing is worse than another. All are tragic, the 9/11 victims are no better than any other victims.
3.I'm probably going to get some flack for this.
There shouldn't have been a "WTC" in the first place, it's no surprise that WTC and Pentagon was a hot spot for terrorists, of ANY kind: foriegn or domestic. It is unwise to have so MANY important resources in ONE place. As with any thing in life, don't put too many eggs in one basket. Everything should be rebuilt, but not all in one place or area. I'm not just talking about terrorist attacks, I'm also talking about natural and structural disasters. Why build the WTC all over just to have it attacked again or have it destroyed by some disaster? A memorial site will be more appropiate and respectful.
