If Saddam were still in power, would the Iranians be in the streets preparing for a revolution to become free?

I'm fascinated by this reasoning. What makes anyone think that Iraq is a free, capitalistic society, or that Iranians have a clue about what is going on in Iraq since the media there is entirely state controlled? The United Arab Emirates has been a relatively free, totally capitalistic society for years. Why didn't the people of Middle Eastern countries become inspired to overthrow their government when they saw pictures of all the wealth and freedom in Abu Dhabi and Dubai?
