DISCUSSION: If the Statue of Liberty were blown up tomorrow, what would you build?

The Statue of Liberty represents for our nation a symbol of freedom and loving brotherhood. It is representative of an undying virtue we are to uphold in our government and our nation. If it were attacked by terrorists attempting to destroy this beloved symbol, and destroyed, what would you build in its place?

I've already mentioned in another thread, but basically I would build a badass Crusader knight in white armor, holding up a flaming sword. I think this represents our current national outlook the best.

His foot would be crushing the head of some third-world type (maybe an actual 11th century Ottoman?)

Around the base would be a poem which, unlike the Emma Lazarus poem, tells foreigners to stay the fuck out, OR maybe just some Blind Guardian lyrics (this is debatable).

So, if the Statue of Liberty were blown up tomorrow, what would you build? What everlasting symbol do you think best represents the American dream, whether real or imagined? Can you one-up the French in their symbolism? What could possibly be superior to a badass flaming-sword wielding knight?

Well?
