#1 I imagine many of them came to see what had survived the bombs well enough to be packed or sold. For those of you who know: is Hizb'allah's $12,000 handout enough to rebuild and refurnish a house after clearing the rubble? Because under the circumstances I'd choose to rebuild far from the near-future rubble-bouncing zone. Of course, I'm funny that way.
