also will it affect our gas prices here?

Hard to say... The Iraqi people have been trained and forced to be a violent nation for all of their lives. A change of leadership is a great start, but the people have to change, as well. Even then, it's hard to say... Just like so many people are still sensitive about slavery or Hitler, there will always be those who will still be violently hateful.
This is where the safety issue comes in, though. You can decide your safety, to some degree. When the next presidential election rolls around, remember this thought. Because many feel that we are wasting our time by defending freedom and that homeland security is not worth pursuing. You choose a leader who is a serious about your safety as your are. ♥

Safe as safe can be. If we withdrew from that part of the world, neither Iran nor Iraq (nor any combination of the two) would be any threat to us. Thinking they're "out to get us" makes about as much sense as thinking that France is out to hurt China. The idea is ridiculous on the face of it... what would they stand to gain?
If we do start a war against Iran, you can definitely expect gas prices to go up. However, Iran has no interest in starting a war with us. The Iranians might well be able to hurt us, but they're motivated by self-interest, and they know they certainly wouldn't be any better off.

With the pres of Iran deciding he does not want Christians or Jews around and pres of N Korea playing James Bond I doubt it, so we better get real smart real quick.

And since Iran's inception as an independent country, how many other countries have they attacked? Zero. And now you would say to me - what about their support for Hezbollah? And I would reply, what about the US's support of Osama Bin Laden?

You have been relatively safe for hundreds of years. What makes you think you aren't safe right now?
