Rebuilding Iraq

I know we usually do rebuild the country we had a war with, but I don't understand why. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, did they send over people to help us put it back together after the war?

US military should withdraw it forces from Iraq and the UN should give hand to Iraq to help Iraqi people recover from war.
