My concept for a WTC Memorial takes a cue from the Korean War Memorial in Washington...

The memorial is a black circular wall, perhaps ten feet high, into which are etched the photographs of the missing that we have all seen on the nightly news. All 6,000 of them, staring out at the visitor.

I would go even further: At the center of the circle have a pillar into which are etched the pictures of the terrorists that murdered them.

Let them stand there, eternally accused by the stares of their victims. Let visitors see the faces of the dead, and of the evil that cheated them out of their futures. I would defy any "fundamentalist radical" to go to a monument such as that, and call the murderers "martyrs" in the presence of all those victims.
