From a transcript of a DOD news briefing:

...To rebuild Iraq, we are working with local leaders, clerics and ordinary civilians
in towns across the country. Rebuilding is a major task not just because of the war, but because of nearly three decades of neglect and devastation by the Hussein regime. Local councils are forming to help rid cities and towns of regime remnants, and every day, civilians are leading our troops to enemy caches of large weapons, ammunition, TNT, plastic explosives, and homemade bombs. School, after school, after school is cleared by the weapons and ammunitions stored there by Iraqi forces.



On a more positive note, every day, more countries and organizations come to the aid of the Iraqi people.

The Australian government will provide three planeloads of medical supplies to Baghdad. Overall, Australia plans to spend $60 million for humanitarian aid. Over the weekend, two Kuwaiti Air Force C-130s flew into Baghdad International Airport with 24 tons of medical supplies for hospitals and health clinics in the city.

From Turkey, 1 million liters of water were delivered to Kirkuk. Repairs are being made there to the electrical and water systems.

From Spain, the ship Galicia delivered humanitarian aid, as well as military vehicles and supplies for troops. And as the aid flows to many places throughout the country, more and more Iraqis are stepping forward to provide useful information and work with coalition forces on restoring police forces, providing electrical power, reopening schools and getting clean water flowing again.



While this may not be as interesting to you as the negative news, it should still be noted.
