I think you just proclaimed the majority of governments around the world as being illegitimate. I can't think of many governments that have not, at some time, wanted to wipe something from the face of the planet. Not too very long ago the United States wanted to wipe Communism from the face of the planet (they still do actually, but that's another story), so does that question the United States government's legitimacy? Just because you don't agree with their poliotics does not mean they are not a legitimate party for the people that wish them to be their representatives.
Easterners always thought the Reform Party was filled with racists and radicals that would destroy Canada. Were they right, or were the people in the west that knew the party best? How about the Bloc Quebequois? They have a pretty narrow focus and represent the wishes of the minority in their province, are they not legitimate?
