Legitimacy is a matter of degree. It seems that Bush's venture in Afghanistan will be much more sucessful than that in Iraq because
- Overthrowing a regime that is protecting an organization that attacked you is much more legitimate than overthrowing a regime that was neither threatening nor capable of attacking you.
- Karzai is much more legitimate in that he genuinely seems concerned about the future of Afghanistan. His position does not seem to be a reward for supplying false information to the U.S. or working as a covert operative.
