I just think it's ridiculous to think "We'll show those terrorists, let's spend all this time and money on making and even bigger tower, that will teach them to mess with us!!"
...
You want to show the terrorists you're not afraid? Then just find them and shut down their operation, building a 234987645mile high tower won't do crap, it's just gonna be another lump of metal put together. Just another example of how materialitis our world is...
I'll stop now before i get myself depressed lol.
Oh and before the less civil and/or more sensitive Americans here flame me i'd like to say i am NOT bashing America, i just think that ANY country who thinks making a piece of metal even bigger is somehow a victory against terrorists or anything else for that matter really needs a reality check. I mean what happends if (god forbid) another attack happends and the new WTC is destoryed, is America gonna build an even bigger buidling until people stop attacking it ?
I'm not against a new building but at least put the fear of appearing afraid and the foolish pride aside and build something respectful and meaningful, not just a new "Look our tower is so big!" building.
