That is the World Trade Center site, and it should be treated with the same respect as that afforded to Pearl Harbor.

You are absolutely right, Russell. However, Ground Zero is not the final resting place of all the people killed. And it's a huge plot of land that is badly in need of re-building to make this city what it once was. You're a NYer, you know that. And what about many of the Native American burial grounds that we have plowed over. That's ok b/c they weren't killed be terrorists (unless you consider us Europeans coming over here and taking over their lands a terrorist act - but that's a whole different thread!!!) or because the bodies were removed it's ok? Respect needed, absolutely! Walking on eggshells - no, sorry.
