OpinionJournal - Will They Ever Rebuild Ground Zero?

Larry Silverstein, the primary leaseholder of the site, continues to battle the Port Authority over rebuilding plans. No one seems to know what to do. Sadly, Mr. Silverstein made an embarrassing lapse, as this article describes. So what's going to happen? Again, no one knows.

I predict that the city will end up turning the whole site into a park, with three thousand empty chairs in it, like the 168 empty chairs on the site of the now-vanished Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

Though maybe Mr. Silverstein will get the primary leasehold of a new city in Iraq, say about fifty-five-odd miles south of Baghdad (Revelation chh. 17-18).
