Nothing could be a bigger slap in the face to terrorism and those who commit it than to rebuild the towers even taller than before. We MUST send a message than we will never back down, and that anything they attempt to destroy, whether it be a physical structure or our unique American spirit of freedom, will return bigger and better than before. They must be sent the message that the spirit of America will prevail at all costs.

Let's stand tall and tell them that we will not alter the skyline of Manhatten! REBUILD THE TOWERS!

Penn & Teller have the best plan. But either way it should be rebuilt as soon as possible.

Something important is missing from the New York skyline and it must be returned, bigger, better, more beutiful than before. It must be done to give Americans something to look up to and see themselves, all as Americans, in glass and steel a representation of the greatness of this nation and it's people. And it must be done to show the world that America does not falter and that this land and it's people have been blessed down through time and as potential enemies draw near they should be afra

Rebuild the Twin Towers even taller than they were before. Constructing the Freedom Tower is a sign of weakness.

I can't imagine a more appropriate memorial to those people who lost their lives than The Twin Towers. When I thik of that place, I don't imagine some whimsical, piece of functional art. I see the Twin Towers. They are a symbol of American optimism, love of country more than self and the American spirit of persistence and hard work in the face of unending opposition. Rebuild those great towers!

If you get knocked off the horse you get right back on. We want our city back the way it was!

To not rebuild the towers in their original design is another way of rolling over, accepting the attack, and taking it again.

There is no better way to defy the terrorists and deny them their victory than to rebuild. Come on, New York - be the Big Apple; be the centerpiece of American optimism and the embodiment of the can-do American spirit.

There is no good reason not to re-build the towers as they were...but let's make them bigger.

I hope it's not too late to correct our course. The simplest solution is often the best. Let's finish the healing.

From the moment they fell, I believed that they should be rebuilt just as before, or perhaps a few feet higher, just to poke the terrorists in the eye.

We are Americans. We went to the moon! We have a rover on Mars! We settled this continent, and built these great cities. All the plans other than just simply replacing the towers are ugly, stupid, insipid, and insulting to Americans.

REBUILD THE TOWERS!

I lost my job after 9/11 and relocated to Iowa. The least they can do is rebuild it to the way it was.

It's the only message we can really send to terrorists that says you didn't win.

Changing the architecture of the twin towers would NOT make the new constuction the Twin Towers! It would be different and America needs to show terrorists that we will not change for them. Also, by building the Twin Towers as they were exactly would also motivate fellow Americans that we are a Still the land of the Free and the Home of the brave, and not hide behind some reconstructed towers that will be a constant reminder of the horrific day of Sept. 11. DON'T CHANGE IT! Elizabeth

We must rebuild these buildings just as everyone has been rebuilding their lives since 9/11. Just as all the families of lost loved ones from buildings as well as this war must rebuild. We are a proud and strong nation, rebuilding is the ONLY thing to do, to affirm our commitment of solidarity and oneness. We must show these misled peoples, that we do get hurt but we also come back with a vengence and a togetherness. That's why we are
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a symbol of America's greatness and strength it would have been if we had governmental leadership that would have stood shoulder to shoulder with each other and rebuilt these towers right away. Instead we as Americans suffer with both democrats and republicans that would rather pathetically quibble and whine about each other. I ask that the politicians redeem something of themselves as "leaders" and rebuild the Towers as they were. What an awe inspiring memorial and symbol they would be!

I think that would be the ultimate symbol of healing for NYC and the US.

Our elected officials better remember that there are more than just the sound byte and "what entitlements will you give me?" voters out here in real America. You better get in touch with the rest of us or your days will be numbered. None of you have a clue of what the average American's life is like and those of us who pay attention know that you couldn't care less. Your day is coming.

This is the biggest travesty in american history did we shut down pearl when the japs attacked it. NO! why not? because it would have been the wrong thing to do!!! the only reason the people in charge that includes the local state and federal governments have not allowed the towers to be rebuilt is because they haven`t done their job on securing the borders and keeping tabs on non citizens

I can remember as a college student visiting NYC. Looking up from the street below the twin towers. It was an awsome sight to behold! The view from the obsrvation deck was fantastic. The NYC skyline just isn't the same without the towers. The best tribute we could make to the thousands of Americans who were murdered that day would be to rebuild the towers. Maybe a little taller and a lot stronger! Let the terrorists know that they can't stop America! God bless the victims and their families

I really was inspired when NYC put up those two beams of light shooting up into the skyline in remembrance. Can you imagine the Twin Towers rebuilt, say a foot higher, with those same two beams lighting on top of them? Now that would be a sight for sore eyes! Rebuild the Towers!

Rebuild and put three huge crosses on their tops.
Add building-wide TV screens on the tops on all faces and let the world see that from their ashes the towers are back with more splendor, the splendor of a Nation under God.
