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.

It doesn't matter if its not the final resting place of all who died there because it is still the final resting place of almost a thousand. Doing the wrong thing with Native American burial grounds 100 years ago has nothing to do with doing the right thing at Ground Zero today.
