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.

There is a difference between motives and history and I don't think you understand that.
Yes that would be an incredibly expensive area to just make into a memorial but at the same time, building there will NOT make this city into what it once was. People say that blindly. What was this city and what will that building bring?
And KillarneyRose, I only have a gripe to pick with certain firemen who chose to work overtime which boosted up their pensions incredibly at the site and then retired.
