Historical Ignorance
Face it, any social or political structure set up by any invading force is considered illegit, and is torn down once the invaders leave. This fact has been proven over and over again, let us learn from history this time, and stop repeating mistakes like we did in Vietnam.

This is laughably ignorant of history. There are numerous examples of governments that were set up by an invading force that survived quite well. Just look at Japan and Germany. Were those governments considered illegit by their people and get torn down? No. The key is to do the reconstruction right and not fuck it up like the Bush administration is doing.
