Rebuilding the broken

Hizzbolah announced that they will pay for destroyed homes in Lebanon. What I thought was interesting that they didn't just promise to pay for it, but they actually specified exactly what they will do.

A Hizbullah official said that people whose homes were totally destroyed will get money for one year of rent as well as for new furniture. Those whose homes were damaged will either fix it themselves and then collect money, or Hizbullah will send workers to do the job.

I don't know if these are just empty promises or they really mean it, but from what I have heard about HIzzbolah, if they say it, they mean it. I know they are doing it for PR and to restablish their image in Lebanon, and not out of the goodness of their heart, but still.

Is our government going to pay for people's broken homes, pay their rent, or send workers? Or how about at least reimburse them for what they spent in order to flee the rockets? Probably not.
