Absolutely.
One of the very few silver linings in this story is that the tower is now a landmark of bitter shame. Anyone who is not hopelessly sociopathic will look at that horrible spectacle and their conscience will be troubled. It certainly troubles mine. I think that at least some of the multi-millionaires who are obliged to see that tower when they look out of their fancy apartment windows will reflect much the same as Vo1v0d has just reflected and will think strongly that they would never have wanted such an awful horror as that to happen to anyone, and that maybe we should reconsider our values and our attitudes to other people.
