And if I'm being quite honest: save the money on the pointless monument. You want a nice cheap little marker? Use a small cinder block.
And even then: what the fuck is the point of a monument to an attack? I can understand someone maybe respecting a great man of science or the leader who pulled their nation through the war... but to respect a terrorist attack by firstly recognizing it and then having the fucking idiocy to dramatize it... only to put a monument there to mark what happened for as long as possible?
Sounds to me like the terrorists won.
What fits in that place is not a monument: it is a tall building.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
