Perhaps Nagin was onto something ... ?

From The Onion:

NYC Unveils 9/11 Memorial Hole

"From the wreckage and ashes of the World Trade Center, we have created a recess in the ground befitting the American spirit," said New York Governor George Pataki from a cinderblock-and-plastic-bucket-supported plywood platform near the Hole's precipice. "This vast chasm, dug at the very spot where the gleaming Twin Towers once rose to the sky, is a symbol of what we can accomplish if we work together."
The rest is here. It's funny. And very on point.

Let's just hope that, four years from now, The Onion isn't running a similar piece with Louisiana politicians presiding over the Hurricane Katrina Miles And Miles of Empty Ruins Memorial.
