How does Iran or Iraq or Syria affect your life?

The terrorist were from sudia arabia. And being a former soldier know the lose of loved ones. but other then that how do any of these countries affect us? other then the preceived threat. I don't know about you. but before all of this started I don't anyone thought twice about these little countries. and now people are ready to bomb these people to hell. no bin laden. not even a sudia arabian apology? whats up with that?
