I said if we know for a fact he murdered at least 400,000 over 20 years that's 20,000 a year that were dying. If in three years it cost 30,000 lives to stop the senseless murders of 20k a year than we've saved 30,000 already. But speculating that suddenly it'll turn into ten million dead is way out there.
I wasn't saying anyone deserves to die, but to claim we went in and killed 30k innocent people for no reason is just wrong. Most of the people that died did so for the chance to brutalize the rest of the population. They took a chance and lost and yes I won't lose sleep over them.
