You mean they already have a Freedom Tower?

Well we're going to have to bomb that.

@airvault: I am thoroughly amused by this comment. Very nice.

@airvault: My first thought was: THEY HAVE A FREEDOM TOWER AND WE DON'T.

I pass Ground Zero each and every day and it pisses me off more and more. Tomorrow I'm going to be really pissed off.

A Freedom Tower in Iran would be, I'm guessing, a single-story structure.

The freedom tower in Iran was modeled after the Women's Liberation tower in Saudi Arabia.

Ironically, the guy who designed the 'freedom tower' is a Baha'i - and had to flee because Baha'is don't have freedom to practice their religion there.
