Really? They are a young, educated, and well-off compared to Iraqis.

They have coalition soldiers surrounding their country, to help them if needed.

And still I see no resistance to their leaders, as a matter of fact, I see nationalism, they like the trash-talking threats to the US and Israel.

What do you see?

You are seeing only what the regime and the msm is showing you.
If you read other sources, you will see a country which has a population where 70% is under the age of 30 and the unemployment rate is about 20%. Well off? Quite the opposite. You are missing the pictures of drug addicts, people eating trash and women prostituting themselves to feed their families. There are thousands of people working at companies that haven't paid them in months and months, but they continue to go to their job everyday, hoping that one day they will get a paycheck, because they can't find work anyplace else.

Yes, there are certainly some "haves", but they are vastly outnumbered by the "have-nots".
