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.
So the reason to invade Iraq killing thousands was to stop Saddam killing thousands?

Abscence of proof is not proof of existance either. What is true is Bush did not have a clue where they were or proof they existed. He invaded on a hunch. Great President you got your self this time.

Stop clutching at straws and come up with a good reason for killing thousands of innocent people please.
