Just Say No - if this happens, the terrorists will have won

From Forbes/Associated Press:

Talk of delaying WTC towers for decades
Officials say the owners of the World Trade Center site in New York have proposed indefinitely putting off building two of three planned skyscrapers, citing real estate market conditions.

An analysis was prepared for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on developer Larry Silverstein's plan for his three towers. It predicts the final tower may not be built until 2030 - nearly three decades after terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

Officials familiar with ongoing talks say the agency has agreed to back financing for one of the three planned towers. The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the talks are confidential.

The Port Authority says real estate market conditions should determine if and when the other skyscrapers are built.

Screw the Port Authority -- the United States has an obligation to rebuild those two towers as a memorial to the thousands of Americans who were murdered on that day. This is not about real estate, this is about sending a message. If we dither on building, they will have won and will only hit us again and harder.
