With One World Trade Center in the background, tourists look at a preview photo of the completed building at the World Trade Center August 18, 2010 in New York. One World Trade Center has now risen above 30 floors.The 1,776-foot-tall building is on track to becoming the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere.
The rebuilding of the World Trade Center tower certainly has been a long time in coming. Do you think Americans will feel differently about a nearby mosque once the symbolic tower is finished?
New York Governor David Patterson is trying to get the developers to move the project, while President Obama doesn't regret his support for the project.
