Maybe its the way it is being presented here, but that's the dumbest thing that I have ever heard. Legitimacy is conditional by definition. In order for something to be legitimate, it must be possible for it to be illegitimate, and therefore there must be conditions that tell you where you're at. This declaration is equivelent to an admission of guilt.

Yep. I think that's one of the things that can be taken away from reading that. The Saudi arguments all rely on logic. All the Syrian arguments rely on emotion to make them work, are are pure rhetoric.
