There are many legitimate reasons for the many different military undertakings that are underway.
The only "legitimate" reasons I can see is to give the billions of dollars of tax payers money to the weapons contractors, give out the oil contracts from these oil rich countries to large oil barons and continue the dollar hegemony. If you think you have better legitimate reasons, I would love to know them.

Ok, I agree. According to Wikipedia, AQ consists of somewhere between 500 to 1000 members. It still does not justify the killing of more than a million Iraqi and Afghan civilians.
