Halpern doubts the World Trade Center would have the same occupancy level as before 9/11. But he notes that in Israel, office are repopulated after they are bombed, and customers frequent bombed cafes and restaurants as soon as they are repaired.
I tend to agree (and yes, I'm an American).
To be fair though, the offices, cafes, and restaurants in Israel were probably fairly random (ie. one-time) targets, so they're no more threatened than anywhere else. If the WTC were rebuilt tomorrow, it would be a bulls-eye.
Not that American's aren't pussies, but there's a good bit of difference here
