The ills that come from Iraq for countries NOT involved in Iraq are extremely minor. To say it's non existent is not exactly true, because, like I said, just about anything affects something else.
i.e. it's possible that a Muslim man in his mid 20's without an education or job in Hamburg could be enticed to join a terror group partially because of what he sees on TV about Iraq.
But this effect is not as significant as people like to believe.
Actually to say Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with the US war in Iraq isn't entirely true, but the effect that the US war in Iraq has on Islamic terrorism abroad, outside of Iraq is minor.
Iranian operations throughout the Middle East is also ages old. Lots of people actually did know of the Hezbollah-Iran link well before Iraq but only by being there people are uncovering the extent to which Iran had been running its operations.
