Rebuilding the Towers

Over at Korlapundit:

But now it's time to cut the crap and rebuild the World Trade Center.

Most New Yorkers want them back. Most Americans want them back. What we don't want back are the ugly, impractical eyesores that those in power seem determined to force upon us.

The arguments against rebuilding are generally arguments for appeasement ("You'll just make them mad at us!"), fear ("Well I would never want to work up that high!"), guilt ("The twin towers were a symbol of hubris that invited destruction!"), or simply hatred ("Litttle Eichmanns!") of the things that make this country and this city great.

Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Pataki, and the muckity-mucks at the Port Authority need to show some backbone and some vision, and give back to New York what Osama and his fanatics took away.

'Nough said.
