#4 Move the damn IFC to Governor's Island near Ellis Island. Run the tour boats so the vistors get to see both the tribute to the Great Immigration and then their American Indian Holocaust display in the IFC. Perspective. Message - history is not clean. There is often no perfect in real history. Way too often it is a choice between lesser of two evils [like supplying Stalin against Hitler]. However, we all know the IFC was declared by its backers as an all or nothing for Ground Zero, so it will die the ugly death it deserves.

#5 "There remains too much opposition, too much controversy over the programming of the IFC and we must move forward with our first priority -- the creation of an inspiring memorial to pay tribute to our lost loved ones and tell their stories to the world,"

I applaud Pataki for making the right decision, but his reason is so mealy-mouthed and wishy-washy as to be worhty only of a sleazy politician. How about opposing it on its ~~lack of~~ merits?

#6 THis would never have happened without the blogosphere. Ten years ago this thing would have been built and none of us would have known a thing about it until it was done. The left just can't get away with their crap anymore. We need to keep up the pressure on them, on all fronts. This is just the first victory of many to come.

#7 Exactly, remoteman. Through Michelle Malkin's site, I learned about the plan for the PA memorial and wrote a protest letter. From there I learned about and signed the NYC 9/11 survivors' petition on the use of Ground Zero and forwarded the petition on to dozens of friends to sign, too-friends of all political stripes. We ain't gonna let a memorial to 9/11 be an arena for diminishing America. Find someplace else for that.
