At this point in time, it doesn't matter if they're "legit" to you or not. They're "legit" enough to kill thousands of people, they're "legit" enough to make people live in fear, and they're "legit" enough to be a destabilizing factor in the regions where they assert their presence.
And I find it very convenient for you to say that you're "not going to be bullied into fear or submission by them and their tactics" being that you're not in Iraq. Shit, I'd bet a good deal of money that you've never seen a car bombing or an act of terror. You've probably never been in a gunfight. I wouldn't be surprised if you've never even seen a violently killed dead body. So saying that it wouldn't scare you seems a little haughty on your part.
I, for one, would not willingly go to Iraq right now. Why? 'Cause it's one hell of a fucked up place right now and there's a decent chance (at least WAY better than in almost every other place) that I might die.
