I was opposed because I thought it would be a mess and a waste, and would make us less safe. And here we are.

1) "Mess" is subjective term. As Club said, all of the good is being buried. You see "mess". I see political gamesmanship and progress.
2) "Waste" is a term that is not yet ripe. Not to sound grandiose, but neither Germany and Japan were economic powerhouses one year after a war. The "jury is still Waaaay out" on this.
3) "Less Safe"? Perhaps time and tide has lessened the fear, but this guy who was watching the burning WTC from Church Street on 9/11 is not nearly as spooked by low flying helicopters as I was a year ago.
