The consensus is they want peace and prosperity! Iraq like most of the gulf countries has huge Oil deposits But farm land plenty of fresh water in the past they grew a yellow rice that was prized around the Arab world you could smell it from a block away their dates were also a favorite .In other words they are sitting on a gold mine and a lot of them know that!!
Also the capitalist system is their best friend not the Islamofacisits one look at the fact their stock market is working, I spent a hour on the phone last week and was told things are better than ever and do not listen to the news ,as for the Army they are in hot spots so of course there will be reports..
