Mr. Chertoff, Secretary Of Homeland Security said that our nation's airlines are still at risk for assault by terrorists. Iran is still proceeding with development of its nuclear program. Venezuelan "President" Hugo Chavez is cavorting with terrorists ( FARC, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ). The Taliban are pushing hard to try to take back Afghanistan. Just to present a few examples. Terrorism is still on its savage Jihad around the globe..., and one of its monuments, a square in lower Manhattan in New York, still stands. Every day that goes by while the raising of a new World Trade Center ( to be called the Freedom Tower) stumbles awkwardly along without progress is simply another day that we allow a towerless square monument to mass murder crafted by the terror organization called Al-Qaeda to stand mutely mocking our agonizingly slow resolve to come together to dispense with one of thier evil footprints on our country. Yes, I know there are logistical problems and tremendous financial costs, but it's been 7 years now. It's long past time to raise the Freedom Tower. Estimates are that it won't be completed until 2012. Let's see if we can at least keep to that date.
