What a wonderful way to lay tribute for the people that died in the Twin Towers - rant and rave and go into a fit of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Tosh!
I have some bad news for you, Tom - all the troubles in the world did not start with GWB as much as you want to believe that. There really are some nasty people in the world that do bad things to other people - for all kinds of reasons - and standing up on September 12 and singing Kum-ba-ya would not make them change their mind a wit.
As was pointed out - most of the costs for the memorial are for associated projects - an example of creative financing and bloated NYC prices (I missed the Halliburton cry there too - I am sure you can figure a way they must be getting a cut too).
Let the dead have their memorial - but spew your bile elsewhere. This story is the equivalent of posting an indictment of FDR for Pearl Harbor on the Arizona memorial - and just about as tasteful.
