It's close to the site and it's in a place where it would be fitting.
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.
Fuck, I'm at a loss for words, Sae has put together a post that is coherent start to finish, and makes a valid point.
hock:don't go turning this into a habit......
