Most readers apparently agreed. Here are some of the reactions--slightly edited--to that editorial:
"You are right on point with your comments," writes Nathan Isikoff, vice chairman of Transwestern Commercial Services. "Whatever is built will be criticized by some. The most important thing is that the site be developed in a way that best serves the residents of the immediate area and the citizens of New York and includes an appropriate memorial to the innocent people who died there."
"I couldn't agree more with your comments," says one writer, who requested that her name be withheld. "The people who attacked us laugh at us as we publicly banter for years because of useless politics. We are now more vulnerable because we have proven to the world that our enemy can brutally attack us, and we still can't get our act together. We spend airtime complaining about conditions of prisoners instead of taking action. The political correctness of this nation has rendered us useless."
