I had mixed thoughts about whether the World Trade Center should be rebuilt in one form or another until I read an article tonight.
It talks about how the Taliban destroyed two of the world's largest statues of Budah in Afghanistan about a year ago.
I remember that story on the news then. Well now that the Taliban has been displaced ... it seems they are going to rebuild at least one of the two statues ... and they've enlisted the original creator to do so.

So do we rebuild? I think we should rebuild something ... maybe not identical to what was there ... maybe part memorial, part business center ... but let's face it ... Whether we rebuild there or not ... there will ALWAYS be another target in the United States to hit.

Rebuild? Hell yeah.

I thought the statues were thousands of years old...

Okay, I'm dumb... Not the original creator ... just some creator that saw them when he was little... ;)
Doesn't change my opinion..

I say build it big build it high. Nothing short of the world's tallest structure on Earth. (the wtc not the statues)
