I will bet you that my predictions are closer to the truth than anything that Bush tells you.
People are also forgetting the thousands of Iraqis killed or don't the innocent count? The soldiers had guns and, as rightly pointed out, enlisted in the army. How many Iraqis had guns and enlisted?

How many did Saddam kill? How many died from malnutrition because Saddam kept all money including oil for food money for himself and his "friends"? How many have been saved from death from malnutrition since the war? How many would Saddam have continued killing had he not been removed? Is this number less than, greater than, or equal to the number that will end up being killed in the war? If a stable democracy does take hold are the millions of lives improved immediately and billions over many generations worth the thousands of US and Iraqi deaths?
Another thing going back to your previous post where you say there were no WMDs. How do you know that? Just because none (except the one sarin filled artillery shell and one mustard gas filled artillery shell) have been found? You don't know. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
