8)Have the lives we've lost in Iraq been less than the lives we've saved in doing so?

I think so, but this is pretty much a guess. If Saddam was allowed to restart his weapons program after the sanctions were lifted I'm sure more than 30,000 would be dead.

Baseless. If Iraq used weapons of mass destruction on anyone, the US would send Iraq to the stone age and Saddam's regime with it. Making this policy known, which we failed to do in 1991 (unless you truly think Saddam would attack Kuwait if he thought the US would intervene), would deter him from agressive action.
The CIA report a few months before the war stated the the probability of Iraq using its weapons of mass destruction was very low, unless its regime was threatened.
So again, who are these people who would be dead if not for the US invasion?
