There is a controversy brewing over the proposed memorial for flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania. Personally, none of the design possibilities strike me as particularly notable. Too abstract for my taste. Far better would be a big granite stone with the phrase "Let's roll" etched in it. Or a statue of a guy wearing a kiffiyeh getting kicked in the crotch.

Update: A reader on Michelle Malkin's website also calls for the granite stone idea!
...I propose a single block of unfinished granite, representing the enduring and unvarnished legacy of Flight 93 with the immortal line, “Let’s Roll” hewn into it in 5’ high letters. A panel below should be smoothed and polished and the names of the fallen engraved there along with a description of their actions that day. In front of this would be a simple paved plaza with one flagpole facing the monument in their honour. Let the memorial be simple and straightforward, uncluttered by the baggage of others and with a clear and unambiguous message for all who would stand before it.
Sounds good to me!
