I find it disrespectful to fabricate something about this memorial that makes it honorable to terrorism. That's not personal, that's defending the passengers' memory and heroism. If you find this memorial unappealling, that is your right. To hype it as some type of symbolism that it is not--is just plain wrong. If you can show me in black and white that this was the motive of the architect, I would agree with you. However, it appears that the only basis you have are assumptions.

Motive is irrelevant; Perception and consequences are what resonate through the court of public opinion. For example;

1) Bill Clinton's motive with Monica Lewinski was to "have a good time"; The public perception was that he had no self control. The consequence was that he single-handedly destroyed the credibility of the Democrat Party.

2) A judge erects the ten commandments in his court house. His motive is to remind criminals that they answer not just to him but to a higher being. The perception is that he is using his position to push his religion. The consequence is that the 10 commandments are being removed from historical displays throughout the country.

3) A child draws a picture of a happy afternoon when he and his brother played cops and robbers. His motive is to express a happy moment. The perception is that he is dangerous because he drew a gun in his picture. The consequence is that parents teach their children to never, ever draw pictures that have guns or knives in them, which in turn makes the child feel like the happy game of cops and robbers is a bad thing.
