    No they can call it anything they want. It all depends on what it means to each person.

    There is never going to be a tower at the rate the planning is going, so it doesn't matter. Even if it does eventually get built, most of the people who were alive in 2001 will be dead by then.

    I have no problem thinking of the world as one people. Segregation and borders are part of what led to 9-11 in the first place (Jesus that sounded a little hippyish didn't it? *throws flowers*)

    I think there are so many other much more important things to worry about much less be reported on.

    Calling it "1 World Trade Center" memorializes the site quite well. I think there are other buildings - or at least one - in the US called "Freedom Tower". An no, there is nothing "unpatriotic" about calling it "1 World Trade Center". But I don't think there's any law saying buildings have to be patriotic anyway.

    I never cared much for the "Freedom" bit. It played into the Bush's administration's lies that we were attacked for our freedoms. We were attacked for freedom from the US intervention in their area causing deaths.

    Not so bad as "Fear Tower": "The base of the 1 World Trade Center (previously known as Freedom Tower) has also been a source of controversy as it was fortified because of security concerns. A number of critics (notably Derek Murdoch in the National Review) have suggested that it is alienating and dull, and reflects a sense of fear rather than freedom, leading them to dub the project "the Fear Tower". Nicolai Ouroussoff, the architecture critic for the New York Times, calls the tower base decorations a "grotesque attempt to disguise its underlying paranoia."
