So if you are such a reliable witness, why are you not testifying against Milosevic? That case is falling apart.
There is, however, a pretty good case that the NATO bombing of Serbia was outside the bounds of legality.

Please explain again what this has to do with the Twin Towers.
To: Ronly Bonly Jones
Simple. Your comment:
ANY buildings that go up there will be nothing but big EMPTY targets for another pair of aircraft.
...and your profile:
RBJ takes great delight in annoying those who support the anti-Muslim genocide committed by Serbians during the Balkan wars.
...should be considered alongside each other, and in the context of the case against Milosovic falling apart. Painting the Serbs as more evil than their opponents in war was, at best, two shades of black. At worst it was a pretext to hijack NATO and conduct a horrific bombing campaign against Serbia's population.

I was in the former Yugoslavia on 9/11. Vojslav Seselj, certified Serb Nazi, lapdog of Slobo, and leader of the bloodthirsty bigots who started the wars in Croatia, Bosnia, Kosova, and elsewhere, hailed the 9/11 terrorists for challenging America--the America that stopped Serb genocide in its tracks.
Now go away and sing "God Give Us Justice" but pray He never does.
To: Ronly Bonly Jones
What was stopped was Serb ambitions to carve up the former Yugoslavia differently than the Soviets and NATO.
It's the Moslems that want genocide.

Well, it wudn't Serbs that had their hands tied behind their backs and shot in the back of the heads at Srebrenica. It was Muslims. The Serbs committed the genocide. All the time yowling about how the Muslims wanted to commit genocide.
Go look up the word "projection" in your nearest psych dictionary.

Unless they're taller than the originals, the jihadis win.
No matter what anyone sez.
To: Ronly Bonly Jones
That's right.
Give up. Be intimidated by the jihadis. They just love your attitude.
Let's be nice and build smaller towers; maybe we can be friends with the jihadis.
Heck, put COngress, Homeland Security and the CIA and FBI in those damn buildings.
AS Mike Moran Said, Call 'em Mecca and Medina. If they're hit again, nuke those pusfilled pustules, the cancer on humanity.

All I want is our Towers back. I watched the towers go up. I remember the skyline before them. I remember the days before the Verazanno Narrows bridge.
I watched the towers go down. I will never forget. When I am in the NYC area, I look at the skyline, and am reminded. I want the towers back, too. But I want more than that.

To: Ronly Bonly Jones
With evidence like this:
Former NATO commander U.S. General Wesley Clark has told the UN war crimes tribunal that former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic knew in advance that Bosnian Serbs were planning the slaughter of thousands of Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995. Prosecutors say Clark's testimony is the most direct evidence so far linking Milosevic to Europe's worst civilian massacre since World War II.
...you are in good company, right? Whoa! Weasley Clark, butcher of Waco, says so, so it must be so!

TTT spokesman Jonathan Hakala says the Twin Towers were among Earth's few "instantly recognizable" landmarks. He compares missing the chance to restore them with "allowing the Pyramids to crumble or the Great Wall of China to come tumbling down." While I completely agree with him, love this design (I've hated all the others), and wish they do it, I also think that it will probably never happen.
Rebuilt towers won't be built if they can't be leased out, and since they'd instantly become targets again I think it would be very tough to lease them.
While emotionally everyone (myself included) says "put them back" I wonder how many businesses would put their money where their mouth is and actually lease space at or near the top.
It's too bad. I'm a native New Yorker and it rips my heart out every time I see the skyline without the towers there. But if it's not financially feasible those towers won't be rebuilt.

if it's not financially feasible those towers won't be rebuilt That should be the only criterion.

Now repeat to yourself:
It was the fault of the Muslims.
It was the fault of the Croats.
It was fault of the Albanians.
It was the fault of the Slovenian.
It was the fault of the Germans.
It was the fault of the Turks.
It was the fault of the Russians.
It was the fault of the French.
It was the fault of the British.
It was the fault of the Greeks.
It was the fault of the Spaniards.
It was the fault of the Americans.
It was the fault of the Muslims...
Keep repeating until you feel better.
Buh bye, serbocrazy!
To: eno_
Keep in mind that there's more than one way to make the towers financially feasible.
Yes, it may be difficult to lease the upper floors. Fine. Leave them empty and finance the added construction cost with donations or a federal handout.
Personally, I would pay to see the towers back and two stories higher. Every time I see an old movie located in New York and the camera shows the towers, it strengthens my resolve to rebuild.
To: xsysmgr
I appreciate the sentiment in rebuilding the towers as they were but I'd rather not do it that way. It would strike me as a morbid theme park.
I want to see something forward looking. Something like we've never seen before.

It was the fault of a bunch of retreads from the Carter State Department, plus some nubags like Wesley Clark, a general who was removed from command due to his ordering British soldiers to fire on Russians and almost starting World War III.
These people brought U.S. foreign policy to the brink of disaster. The waged an incredible bombing campaign against Serbia to serve an abstract goal
To put the allegations of genocide in perspective, something like 200,000 people died in the wars in the former Yugoslavia. The allegations of genocide rest on satellite photos and subsidiary allegations that bodies were dug up and reburied. Originally, the number supposedly massacred was 20,000. Then 7,000. Then 4,000, but many of the bodies were dug up and reburied. Atrocities, yes. But "genocide?" That's an insult to people who really suffered genocide.
