They don't.
Not much thought. Not good thought.
Because once restored, they can be put to good use.
We have a Vietnam Veterans memorial (not sure about a "people of Vietnam" memorial), out of respect for the soldiers who lost their lives -- a monument to their service. The land on which the Towers stood is some of the choicest real estate in the country; beyond this commercial impetus, building anew is a message to the terrorists (the er, religious terrorists) that we are still going strong -- a monument to human perseverance.
The ten commandments are a monument to human ignorance. At any rate, as religious symbols, they have no place in a courthouse or any other government building.
Lincoln should remind you of the emancipation of slavery. The bible should remind you of its institution. And I'm all for tearing that down (or up, as it were).
