And how many were saved from the torture, prisons and mass graves
already found?
And how many will be saved by redirecting the oil money to feed and
benefit the population instead of building palaces, buying weapons, and
paying off French and Russian politicians?
Is it worth a loss of 2500 live to save the lives of perhaps 25,000 per
year?

It depends on how you define 'much'. One precious life lost
is still too much in my view.
