Whats annoying is how people basically became even more flag waving on 9/11 - "oh no, our precious city of shit and poverty, our beautiful new york where girls are raped everyday has been destroyed"
Without the lousiana purchase this country would not be the way it is, yet so many have abandoned the root of our land.
If the towers were a symbol of our strength upon rebuilding, should rebuilding one of our oldest and most guarded cities be the same priority and rebuilt with honor?

Ok...first of all... DO NOT compare what happened in NY to NO. Completely different!
- 1 was attacked by Non-Americans (or scumbags)
- The other was attacked by Mother Nature (whom we cannot fight).
The towers will be rebuilt to prove to the world that the USA can take a punch and keep moving forward. NO is 5-12 feet below sea level and is a risk to all that live there (as we have already seen).
You are correct in stating that NO is a historical landmark. But in no way does it compare to what NY did for this country. If the Louisiana Purchase never happened, Mardi Gras would not occur in the US -- that's it! If it was never part of the US, you would never have missed it.
Stop giving so much credit to a filthy, crime infested city. NO has as much crime if not more than LA, NY or Miami.
I give you credit for your passion about your city, but your argument needs some work.
If they rebuild NO it would have to be like Pompeii. They would need to layer that city multiple times so they can redo their filtration/sewer systems and so that they are no longer BELOW sea level.
GOOD LUCK!
