UN halts aid to Gaza

In the lead off to Iraq war, Onion had a point counter point about the question of the day. The point against the war, was essentially no blood for oil. The counter point asked "how much blood for how much oil", and argued that if with a litre of blood we were going to get a milion litre of oil, then it's totally worth it.

This question can be asked for spreading freedom in the middle east as easily. How many deaths is acceptable for, say, uprooting the Hamas? For that matter, is it possible to get an estimate for how much "collateral damage" we should expect before the Israel will succeed in their current fight against Hamas? Can we get these estimates early in the war, so we can have informed opinion about these events?
