Bekisman, Despite your outrage, you failed to answer question of how is Iraqi "rebuilding" being funded.
As you use search engines for a lot of your answers, you may find the answer amongst them. Oil, i.e. Iraq is paying for the damage done by, and I will repeat the phrase, gung ho allied bombing, by the sale of its oil.
You can even attend a conference to ensure that you get a slice of the pie:

So whilst the Royal Engineers make token efforts to justify why they are still there, the big (re)construction projects are carried out by Western construction companies.
The military and the monetary, always present in any recent US led war
You take umbrage at my use of the term "gung ho" yet, according to the military we have weapons which have pin point accuracy, why then is there so much carnage.
