New Yorkers, when I say that it is still too early, too painful to have this discussion. Our dead have not been gathered up. The smoldering debris will take six months to remove. The enemy has not been routed and are still among us.....But if I know New Yorkers' spirit, they will not turn this space into a memorial of twisted steel, but a glittering, exuberant, soaring (if not in height than in spirit) cathedral to international commerce and humanity. It will be a phoenix rising from the ashes. Heroic.
