Don't forget to subtract the expected casualties Saddam would have inflicted (~30,000 a year, based on the the last thirty years of his rule - http://middleeast.about.com/od/usmideastpolicy/a/me090424b.htm).

If all you are going to do is replace a snake with a rat, you probably shouldn't mess with the snake at all. My suggestion would be to kill off both the snake and the rats which could mean the total destruction of the Middle East.

Remember, before the war, scores of Iraqi people were slaughtered under a dictator. Now, scores of Iraqis are slaughtered under a democracy. Mission accomplished.
