And how many years did it take to decide on what to build?
once the democrats stopped apologizing for not wanting to build a mosque, the tower went up pretty quickly.
The port authority had to approve it..then they had to decide on what kind of memorial to place there (it had to be PC and not mention Islam or Muslims). Then the investors probably had to be convinced to put the money up with them realizing that Muslim will always consider it a target to destroy in order to spread Islam.
