Buliding a same kind of building is not good idea especially when so many people are burried inside.... Building some memorable with park is better idea i think..

There aren't people buried though. Everything, and I do mean everything, was disintegrated. The body parts that they did find were sent to the families or stored until they can identify them. The plan is to make a memorial park honoring the dead along with the buildings, which in my opinion is the best way to go.

I don't think that its a good idea not to build them just because it might "tempt terrorists". If terrorists are going to do anything they'll do it anywhere, regardless of what they do build there.
Well, yes, you're right, but that's not what I really mean. Terrorists have repeatedly proven that if they want to attack they're going to do so no matter what. But for me building a high tower or the WTC again seems like saying, "hey, want to try again?"

but also shows that they aren't going to roll over and take a stiff one up the backside too.

By that same logic anyone who ever survives a car crash should never get in a car again and anywhere there is a car crash the road should be blocked off to commemorate them because otherwise another car might crash there.

There are already tall buildings in New York, and there are ones around the world that are taller than the towers where.

Like Richie said if they don't build again it's more like saying "We're afraid of terrorists" and of course I suppose everyone is afraid of an attack but it would make the terrorists believe that they had won.

Each floor would have to be pretty high then, the ceilings would be pretty high, maybe 15-20ft for each floor.

what i understood reading that article is that there will be floors up to a certain height of the building and not all of it.

Well I'd like to see exactly how they'd do that, though it would seem like a waste of space really.

Ok, it was just my opinion. I'm not writing to the NY mayor telling him to stop whatever he intends to do there. Maybe that wasn't clear enough

Fair enough, but that person would only be "risking" their own life and by their own choice. Whoever is going to be working there is going to be someone else's responsibility. And I guess a lot of people will be reluctant to work there, for whatever reasons.

Sure, but they're not the same spot. As I said, it's not a matter of it being a *tall* building, it's the meaning of it, more like.

As I said risking other people's lives is not a matter of winning or losing. I'm not saying anything is going to happen - I wish not!! But you never know, and also I think a memorial park would be the best of tributes.

Many people jump everyday into the same train line of the attacked trains on March 11 in Madrid. The same lines are working everyday. I am sadly aware that any line could be attacked. But to me building the Twin Towers again would be like bringing to a halt the extra-security measures in those lines. It's okay if it doesn't make sense to you, but it does to paranoid me.

the reason police forces and governments for the most part will not negotiate with terrorist demands is because it sets a precedent that they can get what they want.

This isn't exactly the same thing but building the towers again is symbolic of rising up again in the face of adversity, getting up for the next round when you've been knocked down....
