Its a symbol, isn't it, a morale booster. People respond well to big overthe top stuff .... to give a slightly morbid example, thousands of people die all over the world every day, but it takes someone flying planes into towers or a hurricane wiping out vast areas to make people spit out their coffee. In this case, the people need a symbol of hope, and I can't see thousands of homes and schools being built giving them that symbol ... course, they're important too, which is why they are being rebuilt at the same time
