I'm always a little peeved by these "what if" inverse or otherwise contrasted scenarios, whether it's about Japanese restaurants or Christian houses of worship. It's a bit annoying because the situation isn't about the Japanese cuisine or Pearl Harbor or Christians, or even the minority liberal media.

Well, here's a "what if" for you all:

What if there were already a thirteen-storey mosque and cultural centre in that site since before 9/11? Would you support its forced removal/relocation away from the "sacred hallowed ground"?

I think my "what if" scenario is much fairer and sincere than the ones I've seen otherwise.
