I believe the UN and red cross are doing that but it is slow going because they have to set up secured warehouses.
I think power and clean water are needed first to get things rolling .
Don't forget Afghanistan still needs much help and that Canada has peacekeeping troops there. Afghanistan seemingly doesn't have the resources (oil) to pay for rebuilding in that country. There are still many Taliban causing problems there.
The Coalition should quit trying to play the hero now and beg the UN to come in and assist with rebuilding and stabilizing Iraq.
The UN says the Iraqi doctors are doing an amazing job under the circumstances; if their hospital is unworkable they travel to other hospitals and pitch in; even though travel is still very difficult.
