Idyllic, this is like my saying that the folks doing construction down the street from me ought to build a public library rather than another church.
It's a perfectly legitimate preference, but is it really grounds for the kind of outrage we've seen against the Cordoba project? Is it legal grounds for barring them from proceeding? Is it a moral grounds for objecting to the project itself? Or can we simply acknowledge that, for the reasons you've pointed out, the project is not perfect, but that they still have every right to build it?
