Memorial Must Focus On Evil of Terrorism A substantial number of families of those massacred in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks are angry about plans for a memorial at the site once occupied by the World Trade Center. They have good reason to be upset: Ultra-liberals seem to be intent on creating a "blame the victims" memorial. Most Americans agree that the hundreds of people killed in the 9/11 attacks - in New York City, Washington, D.C., and rural Pennsylvania - should be remembered through some sort of formal national memorial. In addition, of course, such a memorial would serve to remind the world of the absolute evil of terrorism. But that isn't what is being envisioned by a well-funded, influential group of liberals. They want an "International Freedom Center" focusing on "great moments in the worldwide struggle for freedom ... from slavery to the roots of the Sept. 11 attacks." That makes the group's agenda quite clear. By equating a "struggle for freedom" with "the roots of the Sept. 11 attacks," the goal certainly appears to be to excuse - perhaps even justify - the terrorists in some way. There is no excuse, no justification, for terrorism of the kind that struck America on Sept. 11, 2001. New York City officials shouldn't allow the memories of those killed on that day to be sullied by a "memorial" that shows sympathy in any way to the terrorists. If those planning the memorial want to consider the idea of freedom, they need to ponder the thought that on Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists took away the most basic freedom from about 3,000 people - that of life itself. -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
