See the post with pictures of the actual Arizona 9/11 memorial here at Hot Air.

See Iowahawk’s rendition here.

James Lileks wrote something for NRO that was later also quoted by Mark Steyn. I’ll quote it too, since it comes to mind in the context of this self-hating Arizona 9/11 memorial story (and I do think Iowahawk made a reference to it in his pastiche):

If 9/11 had really changed us, there’d be a 150-story building on the site of the World Trade Center today. It would have a classical memorial in the plaza with allegorical figures representing Sorrow and Resolve, and a fountain watched over by stern stone eagles. Instead there’s a pit, and arguments over the usual muted dolorous abstraction approved by the National Association of Grief Counselors. The Empire State Building took 18 months to build. During the Depression. We could do that again, but we don’t. And we don’t seem interested in asking why.
