Iraq part two as an excellent example of the counter.  Iraq was headed by a vile government, it didn't make our aggression in that war valid.  
Hamas believes its suicide bombings in Israel to be legitimate, would you agree?

Overall, true. But another thing to add to the equation is whether you won or not. Historically when you win, you often have the opportunity to 'rewrite' the narrative.
