War Fatality attitude exploration

As of this moment, about 795 American servicemen and women have perished in the conflict in Iraq. Undoubtedly, its possible that American involvement in Iraq will allow for a significant increase in oil output, outside of the OPEC cartel. At $2 per gallon of gas, higher crude oil output would be a welcome relief, though to obtain that relief, more resources may be required to further stabilize Iraq. Given 795 have died so far, how many more servicemen/servicewomen fatalities would you tolerate to achieve an average national gasoline price of $1 per gallon?

The quantity of fatalities in Iraq as a result of this conflict remains unknown, but estimate range from 7,000 to 12,000 (civilian). Once again, this is a result of attempts to stabilize Iraq, which will likely lead to increased oil production. What is the maximum quantity of Iraqi fatalities you would be willing to tolerate in order to have gasoline at $1 per gallon? For this question, assume that you are deciding only on hypothetical Iraqi civilian deaths; American servicemen fatalities will be magically held at the current level. (Hypothetically there is no Iraqi military anymore, and therefore no more Iraqi military deaths.)

In a slightly different scenario, world oil prices continue to skyrocket. Now, how many servicemen fatalities would you tolerate in order to keep gasoline prices stable, which would otherwise rise to $3.75 per gallon?

How many Iraqi deaths would you tolerate to prevent gasoline going to $3.75 per gallon?

There are many strategies of war. A hypothetical war strategy will save more American lives, at the expense of Iraqi lives. What is the maximum quantity of Iraqi fatalities you would tolerate in order to save one American serviceman's life?
