The problem is that your underlying point is very strong and there's no easy answer to providing the balance. 9/11 is still with us in everything from airport security to military entanglements in the Middle East to the excesses by which our national security agencies intrude on our privacy to the anger and hate which you refer.

I am in no way saying we should ever forget.
I am saying I don't believe it needs to be a mobile/yearly educational (I assume, haven't been there) memorial.
I have not seen (nor have I really looked) any other traveling memorial of terrorism/war/death/murder/etc.
