Ustwo, while I do agree with your point about the protest and it's "legitimacy", you're completely wrong about the legality of war. There have been rules and laws of warfare for well over 1000 years. Typically broken rules have only been enforced by the victors, but analogy that you're using to make your point sucks. You should find a new one.
You cannot apply the adjectives "legitimate" or "illegitimate" to the word "protest". The latter exists completely independently. Perhaps those words can be applied to the groups doing the protesting, but I do not see how any protest that is simply that can be legitimate or otherwise.
