I think, Squirt, that everyone concedes that the number of dead is virtually unknowable and that the true figure probably lies somewhere between those of Iraq Body Count and the Lancet report, just as, one would hope, the war proponents understand that the figures bandied about prior to the war by Saddam, Bush and the UN, variously, are also unknowable.
The OP merely asks the question about what theoretical number of dead pushes the cost of the war too high.
