Jeff Jarvis is quite right, it makes no sense to turn the whole of the site of the WTC into a memorial. Croatia has not turned all of Vukovar into a memorial to what was done to the people there. Rebuild and move on. It is a sign of strength not heartlessness.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

I have to agree.
Don’t get me wrong, a nice, appropriate memorial is needed, but quality over quantity.
On the other hand, if the bulk of the memorial costs comes from donations, they can build a walk way to the moon and I wouldn’t bat an eye.
I guess the bulk of the memorial costs can hardly come from donations alone since the main cost lies on the use of that expensive piece of Manhattan land. A small memorial, allright. Apart from that, rebuild, rebuild, rebuild. Life should not be kept waiting. That is a positive way to honor the victims.
Natalija! You’re back! Great!
