Rebuild the towers!
Why would we not rebuild this site as it stood before, as a statment to those who wish to destroy us. As Winston Churchill said in his Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat speech, You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all cost - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.
Bigger and better!!!
Back in 2001, I was disappointed when hearing that the Towers wouldn't be rebuilt...I wondered if there was something structurally unsound about the site... I had no idea it was a political unsound-ness. This is a great idea, they should be rebuilt, bigger and taller, and as soon as possible.
Rebuild them beam for beam and bolt for bolt.
History requires that we rebuild. Real, every day New Yorkers want their towers back.
Restore our nations pride and proclaim from the tops of the new towers to all that would destroy us "you will fail".
Rebuild the towers and erase al Qaeda from the earth.
Re-build! and use all American Steel, not the Japanese Steel used in the fallen towers!
I agree completely with the heart of this petition, but we should not rebuild the towers exactly as they were. We should make them bigger, better, stronger.
That said, the new WTC should recall the aesthetic of the original buildings. They will tell us how much we loved the old designs, what they meant to us as a nation, and how we plan to move forward in this century and the next, and the next.
Anytime I see the Manhattan Skyline in an old movie, it's like a dagger through my heart.
Please rebuild the twin towers as they once were, in fact , even bigger and talller. Thank you.
Bigger and Better - That's the American Way.
Let's Roll.
Don't let them win rebuild the twin towers please.
God,country and the Corps
I may not be a New Yorker, but I'm an American, and this is a wonderful idea.
Are we going to let terrorists win?
It's the right thing to do.
No memorial to 9/11 would be complete without the Twin Towers, rebuilt, resplendent, in tribute to the fallen heroes and rebuke to the terrorists.
Lets roll!
We want our skyline back! We will never go down in defeat!
Built them as high or higher and put a finger in the eye of the Islamic terrorist that did this and their stupid ideas!
Exactly as they were, but more reinforeced and more beautiful they should be built. Non apologetic, no short cuts, do it up right.
I agree this is the right thing to do.
Build 'em back! Anything else is a capitulation to the terrorists.
Let's build them back exactly as they were! Establish an international fund, I want to contribute, others will too! Not that the money will be needed, but it should be used, to show the morons and cockroaches that the whole world is against them! This from a Romanian - God Bless America!
I will sometimes watch old movies just because I know they show a scene that has the twin towers pre 9/11. Certainly rebuilding the World Trade Center's twin towers as the world knows them will show the determination of the American people to not given in to terrorism. This would be the right thing to do to honor the thousands of people who went to work that September day and never went home. I have hoped that the owner/"powers that be" would get it right build them again better and higher
Bring back the towers. I volunteer to man the anti-aircraft missle battery on top for three eight hour stretches, once a week, every year for the rest of my productive life. Seriously.

Rebuild. DON'T REVISE!
Remember "we will rebuild"? Rebuild the twin towers and restore the NYC skyline. This would hurt terrorist morale more than any military offensive.
The only thing to do is rebuild the towers!
Bring back the Towers!
Some things stand eternal. That's the way I and everyone I know feels about rebuilding the Towers just as they were, except one floor higher. I never understood the new design or what it was to represent, they were just buildings that looked like they were from a science fiction comic book. The only true way to honor those fallen and to reflect the resiliancy of the American people is to rebuild the Towers.
Why would anything else be done? The message sent back to those who would try and tear us down with fear. We rebuild in this town and country!
GET TO IT!
My grandfather was a captain in the New York city fire department . He passed away a few years ago but I know that on that day ,Sept 11 . He was there in heaven with his hands stretched out to welcome all the fallen fireman . Nobody , But nobody must be allowed to take our way of life . Lets do the right thing . Lets re-build the twin towers to the way they were . Lets show these bastards that they lost .
God Bless you all! Some of us will NEVER forget!!
Rebuild!!!
Like most Americans I was devistated by what happened to the WTC and the Twin Towers. They were more than a landmark, they were a national symbol that represented the strength of our democracy. I can't imagine going to New York with my family someday and seeing this so-called Freedom Tower. I haven't liked this idea from the start and quite frankly never will like this plan for the WTC site. If a majority of Americans want the Twin Towers rebuilt then let's do it.
I agree with this idea completely. Resurrecting the Towers would inspire America and defy the sick losers who perpetrated and approved of the 9-11-01 attack.
This is a great idea... I truly thought I may be the only one thinking about this! I hope this works.
If the Twin Towers can be built in a manner that can be reasonably secure they should be rebuilt with federal, state and NYC funds if need be.
Yes! Rebuilding the towers IS the right thing to do. Anything less than a total restoration of two equally tall and functional buildings will be seen as a victory for the terrorists. We should NOT allow them to win.
Rebuild the towers! Taller, stronger, with an excessive extravagance of 'bigger is better' born of the undefeated, unconquerable American spirit. Let them be beacons signaling to an envious world that we intend to fulfill our Manifest Destiny. Show them Iranian monkeys who restack the same 2,000 year old stones after each earthquake, how civilized people rebuild.
