There are plenty of countries that could have stepped in to provide what the people of Iraq needed post-invasion -- public services and basic security

The countries that did provided little. The countries that did not were unlikely to have provided much, if anything. France, Germany, Russia, ect. were not going to send tens of thousands of soldiers in to Iraq. Its possible they could have helped with services, its conceivable that they would have if some things had been different, but such help would probably have been marginal whoever was president and whatever the president said about Iraq or about these countries.
