Not my point, though. I don't see a lot of other places that are reserved and untouched because a mass of people died.
Nor mine. There was an observation during the War of 1812 (because of the power of the Royal Navy) that "people's ardor for war increased with their distance from the coast."
Similarly, I noted that lots of people who never would have worked in the Twin Towers wanted to rebuild them to send a message. The message would be "let's see you do that again" but they would not have been the ones looking nervously out the windows for low-flying planes.
Bravery increases with distance. The REMFs are the bravest men in any army!
