The first place where the government of the US was established was in NY. The first place that Washington the first President of the US took everyone is to the Church in lower Manhattan. The very same church that survived the fall of the twin towers being right next to it. It was so close that everyone said it was a miracle church. Amazing that the very place that the US was born is the very ground that brought about the attack on US soil. Washington's inauguration address is so telling and so awesome that when I read it and realized that it was the same place the attack was, made me realize all the more that we have strayed way to far from this country's base. I wonder the significance that the Mosque was to be built very near the ground that this nation started on. Maybe like myself not knowing the real reason we in our hearts didnt like the idea but that it was a omen to start the US away from its Godly roots in the place where it all started. What a humble man so much different than the address of office and attitude we see today. He said he would cry when he would see the trail of blood in the snow left by his men without shoes and feet frozen.  I put the link below so you can see the full address.  When I read this I am just blown away.

Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present station, it would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being, who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes, and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success the functions allotted to his charge. In tendering this homage to the great Author of every public and private good, I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less than either. No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the affairs of men, more than the people of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency. And, in the important revolution just accomplished in the system of their united government, the tranquil deliberations and voluntary consent of so many distinct communities, from which the event has resulted, cannot be compared with the means by which most governments have been established, with-out some return of pious gratitude along with an humble anticipation of the future blessings which the past seems to presage. These reflections, arising out of the present crisis, have forced themselves too strongly on my mind to be suppressed. You will join with me, I trust, in thinking that there are none, under the influence of which the proceedings of a new and free government can more auspiciously commence.

I dwell on this prospect with every satisfaction which an ardent love for my country can inspire; since there is no truth more thoroughly established than that there exists in the economy and course of nature an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity; since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained; and since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked on the experiment intrusted to the hands of the American people.
