Hootie, the terrorist attack on the WTC and the Pentagon cannot be equated with WWII. It was similar to Pearl Harbor except that the victims and survivors had not enlisted or been drafted into the military. The victims were just regular people who had jobs or appointments in the Twin Towers. They were also rescue workers such as firefighters, police officers, and medics who arrived at the scene to help. BTW, why would you be bitter about a memorial regarding WWII and deny one for the victims of September 11th?
So far (from what I know) only seven families have received any type of financial payment for their lost family members.
Dionysus, why should there have been no WTC? There were over 30,000 people employed within that structure. Many people fed, housed, and clothed their family members with jobs they had there. It stood for twenty years without incident and another eight years after the first attack in 1993.
