We have to fight this one with every fiber in our being.

The hero's of Flight 93 died protecting other Americans and if we allow the left to erect this PC crap...we might as well roll over as a nation.

Fight this one people....FIGHT!!

Ouch.

I believe the guy who created this insult is a architecture professor at USC.

I wonder if the USC school of architecture has received any large gifts from Saudi Arabia. I remember reading that at least one bin Laden family member went to USC but I don't remember if it was for architect but Atta had a degree in architecture ( not USC ).

There seems to be an interest in the subject amongst terrorist types, second only to aviation.

Well at least the Klintoon Memorial will be correct.

[Echo Talon]

That is Screwed!

Have there been any comments by any family members of Flight 93 passengers and crew? Or are they in shock? TV crews should be camped on the doorstep of the designer and the design award committee.

If this travesty is allowed to stand the Arabs will have their biggest laugh in four years, and the United States will look like a bunch of wusses.

From a design jury member:

"Last year, our second class of the fall season happened to have been scheduled for 9/11, and so, of course, did not happen. The semester was foreshortened by the attacks on the World Trade Center. For a while the New School buildings served as staging areas for some emergency services. Several students came closer to the carnage than anyone should. Our academic world became more real as we talked about America's arrogant and profligate energy use, which was dramatically embedded in the twin towers, now turned to one big toxic pile of dust. The rubble was burning not far from where we sat. those who will give forms to our physical environment-my twenty-eight hopes for the future of a new design ethic-had a hard time ignoring this fact of their lives. The collapse shows, among other things, that our current American lifestyle is unsustainable."

The architects already unveiled a back-up design:

here is the one that needs to be there:

Let's not get hysterical! This is a stadium in Milwaukee. It is crescent shaped.

"The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission."

"Muslims place themselves directly in the line of those who worship one God, so they feel kinship with Jews and Christians."

You people feel like submitting to Islam?

[hershey]

Doubtless, they thought this would honor the murderers as well as their victims. The general dumb public wasn't supposed to notice.

[FireTrack]

I would suggest they cut out the bottom of the crescent and turn it into a pair a wings. Certainly a symbol much more befitting American heroes.

Something I quickly threw together just to show how easily it could be done:

Liberals do the job of spitting on American memorials that terrorists are too dead to do.
