These towers are a brilliant design that has far more in common with Montreal's Habitat '67, Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers and New York's 56 Leonard Street than it does with the World Trade Center. The World Trade Center were two unimaginative monoliths that stike resemblance to every other building built before and after them. While this particular design does bear a resemblance to the events of 9/11, to call them a disgrace 10 years on and half a world away is just arrogant. We built airships that resembled the Hindenburg, cities that looked like Hiroshima and ships that looked like the Titanic because we brazenly moved forward to the future, not cowering from the past. We should do the same with these towers. If only more so now that people have made that connection.

P.S. I bet if the towers were round and darkly coloured people would have never made a fuss.
