Iraq was a sovereign state with an internationally recognized government and a recognized head of state -- Saddam. Saddam was as legitimate as any other head of state, including George Bush.

>>><Did Saddam Hussein have legitimacy?> Absolutely.

He's just adhering to the prevailing international behavior that favors any sort of totalitarian government, provided it's "stable". We in the US have been as remiss as anyone until now with Iraq.
