The Continuing slow saga of World Trade Center Construction:

There was a loud protest outside the proposed world trade center by workers regarding the slow pace construction of the center. It has been now almost nine years since the 9/11 attacks and the construction has still not been completed half way for the site. In the start there was much fanfare that we would build the site again as fast as possible but the bickering and lawsuits after lawsuits and the democratization of the site has delayed this well intentioned construction to its ninth year.

Although the respect should be there for the victims who lost their lives and for the loved ones it remains a sacred site but to keep it that way will signal to the terrorists that they have won. We should have right away build this site to its original structure to show America’s defiant face to the world but sadly it is still mired in money and politics.

Meanwhile the intended jobs that were supposed to come with the construction of the site and the resultant revitalization of the downtown New York area is still a distant thought. I just wish that things come to a satisfying conclusion and we should build the site as soon as possible.
