• Yo opino lo siguiente. El comercio mundial significa paz mundial y, en consecuencia, los edificios del World Trade Center de New York ... tenían un propósito mayor que el de proporcionar espacio a los inquilinos. El World Trade Center es un símbolo viviente de la dedicación del hombre a la paz mundial ... más allá de la necesidad imperiosa de convertirlo en un monumento a la paz mundial, el World Trade Center debería, debido a su importancia, convertirse en una representación de la creencia del hombre en la humanidad, su necesidad de dignidad individual, sus creencias en la cooperación de los hombres y, a través de la cooperación, su capacidad para encontrar la grandeza.
