And it's a pretty outlandish "maybe" you're using to back up your opinion that the war could be worth 500,000 deaths. Sounds to me like you're just looking for a reason to back up what you've already said at this point, because you didn't think through the costs of the war well enough to begin with.

you must do just a little math and see how your 500,000 number compares to the projected human cost of climate change. It's not even close.
You're still clinging to the idea that I am somehow in favor of the war, rather than looking for a positive outcome that can be salvaged from it.

the Iraq War is going to be the reason we save billions of people is FEEBLE.
And, unless you're now capitulating, you've changed from it was "worth it," to "salvaging something from it."
Two totally different things, and damning proof of how wrongheaded your diary was to begin with.

If what is salvaged is more than what it cost, then you might say it's worth it.
But you're a moron, so that doesn't compute.
good bye, dumbass.
