Tell me. By what calculation did you definitively decide that US actions will cause the loss of more US lives rather than less?
Consider that by the US acting in Iraq it will increase the probability of a terrorist attack in the US.
Consider also that by the US acting in Iraq it will decrease the probabiity of WMD's being used in a terrorist attack in the US.
How do you combine those probabilities in a definitive way when no one knows the individual probabilities themselves?
Everyone is acting in what they believe to be their best interest.
