		<description><![CDATA[I too was hoping for the Mandarin the trailers led us to believe we&#039;d be getting, and the big bad being yet another scientist-businessman was a bit of a disappointing rehash. But conservative reviewers aren&#039;t doing us any favors by reaching this far to find political connotations wherever we can kinda sorta glean them by squinting the right way. We shouldn&#039;t moderate our views or be afraid to call out elephants in the room, but at the same time we have to avoid giving the impression that we&#039;re obsessively unable to see things outside of our political prism or to recognize the context of things outside that prism. 
 
First, neither the Mandarin nor the terrorists of the first IM were ever identified as Islamic terrorists or affiliated with real-world terrorists. As others here have pointed out, Mandarin&#039;s trappings &amp; symbolism are primarily Chinese/Mongolian not due to political correctness, but because those are the character&#039;s roots, which predate Islamofascism as subject of American political debate. To infer that because he&#039;s a media concoction in the movie, therefore we&#039;re meant to believe our real jihadist enemies are similarly fabricated is something the movie never says. Yes, it would be refreshing to see our pop-culture heroes take on America&#039;s real enemies, but to berate a film for not joining that fight seems too reminiscent of the Left&#039;s obsession with politicizing all aspects of life. Let comic-book escapism simply be comic-book escapism. 
 
Second, the real villains are scientific/business contemporaries of Tony Stark because the trend in writing many of these superhero movies is to make the protagonist and antagonist reflections of each other in various ways, as well as to give their conflict personal stakes through shared back-stories. Yes, this is often unnecessary and overdone, but call it what it is: an artistic shortcoming, not a political one. After all, last time I checked, the Iron Man series&#039; hero is still a billionaire entrepreneur and business owner, too. 
 
Third, the review omits several details that contradict the idea that Iron Man 3 is some anti-American, liberal screed. For example: 
 
- War Machine being re-named Iron Patriot and having his armor re-painted red, white, and blue: First, the movie has a running joke about the heroes preferring the name &quot;War Machine,&quot; which the clueless politicians changed because they thought it too politically incorrect. Second, the missions we see him going on - unilaterally bursting into various locations in the Middle East, demanding answers at gunpoint, seems like exactly the sort of cowboy diplomacy liberals want nothing to do with, yet here it&#039;s portrayed as just fine. He even frees a room-ful of women in burqas! 
 
- No indication of the president&#039;s party or politics is given, but it is shown that his basically hawkish stance is consistent with his personal courage. Not once is it suggested that he&#039;s a &quot;warmonger&quot; for wanting to take the fight to the Mandarin. 
 
- There&#039;s an line about how the real villain, Killian, is going to execute the president atop a ship owned by a fictional oil company because oil companies are easily-villified in the public eye. If IM3 is to be blamed for allegedly painting Islam as a victim of scapegoating, doesn&#039;t it deserve at least a little credit for the more-explicit admission that one of the Left&#039;s favorite boogeyman is a victim of scapegoating? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hollywood is full of it. I don&#039;t take them seriously at all. When the movie Race To Witch Mountain came out and I saw it (during high school), it was the first time I suspected there was a propaganda message being displayed that was suspicious to me. Even though I didn&#039;t know it was called propaganda back then, the feeling i got was that this movie had something wrong with it. Something was very wrong with how the way the story was set up. But later in my life after looking-up discoverthenetworks.org, David Horowitz, and other people and things, everything began to come clear to my mind. Today I have a better understanding of Hollywood. Thanks Ben for your hard work of sharing your views on Hollywood. However, I wouldn&#039;t mind if someone made a movie about Islamic terrorists working with non-Islamic terrorists if the non-Islamic terrorists were Communists or radical Leftists.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;The Mandarin has a Chinese name, speaks with an American Southern accent, uses tactics and quotes philosophy from all over the globe and history, but he hangs out with terrorists and has kinda dark skin, so obviously he&#039;s Islamist. Right.&quot; 
 
That&#039;s the entire point. He&#039;s presented as something else entirely in contrast with what actually drives virtually all terrorists around the world. In reality, terror is now synonymous with jihad, which comes from fundamental Islam. 
 
Yet the movie depicts racist bigots of falsely coming to that conclusion. Every Hollywood film plays that angle, or if they do show Islamic jihadis they are sure to include the lies about &quot;grievances.&quot; If there is any way of taking any political message from the narratives it is always the West that is wrong, and usually malicious. 
 
I have never seen a film depict anything close to the truth about Islam being a totalitarian religion that instructs adherents to compel others to toe the sharia line by conversion or submission as a dhimmi. It hits too close to home and might cause the whole Palestinian fabrication to fall apart, not to mention all of the Saudi funding that universities and politicians receive. And then there are threats to journalists and probably to motion picture companies (I think that is safe to assume). And it doesn&#039;t hurt at all that offending everyone else is a lot less costly in every other way too. 
 
What culture creates the most sensitive people in the world that riot over rumors of &quot;desecration?&quot; Do Chinese do this? Are there tribes in Africa that rise up when they feel disrespected? If there are, it&#039;s because they&#039;ve been converted. 
 
People like you are hilarious. Until I remember how many of you there are. Then I stop laughing.

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Since 9/11 apart from The Kingdom and Zero Dark Thirty not one other movie as far as I can remember has been about heroes taking on Islamic terrorists and kicking their asses.&quot; 
 
 
Those films didn&#039;t make things much worse but didn&#039;t do anything to rectify the lies. Nothing in either of those films would upset a jihadi. That&#039;s the point: It&#039;s all about what the jihadis might think and do. 
 
We&#039;re a nation of cowards and more-ons. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I&#039;m a conservative now and I expect to remain as such after seeingron Man 3.&quot; 
 
I don&#039;t care what you see. Denying the propaganda value of huge popular films is just blindness on your part. That&#039;s your right of course.  
 
The claim is not that a single film will &quot;convert&quot; anyone. The claim is that people are exposed far more to fiction than to the facts. And with so much lying going on in the press, having films depict Islam as benign and &quot;just like us underneath&quot; is a big fat leftist lie that gets repeated over and over every single time you watch the film. 
 
It doesn&#039;t mean everyone buys it. But certainly if you didn&#039;t know better already, you might understand this fiction as being based on reality. How is that unworthy of exposure? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sadly you are correct Rifleman. Once the enemy (the Frankfurt School of &quot;cultural&quot; Marxism and so on) had a vision of what they what they wanted to replace the West with. However, that vision was always a bit vague (Karl Marx forbad specific descriptions of how the future society would work as &quot;unscientific&quot;), I think we have now reached the point where some of the left (such as the demented thugs of the universities) just want to destroy the West - they do not really care what it is replaced with anymore. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Orignially an &quot;orientalist&quot; was a Western scholar who believed that eastern cultures were worthy of study (that they had some good in them). Edward Said (a liar who even lied even about the basic facts of his own life)  pretended that &quot;orientalists&quot; were Westerners who attacked eastern cultures (the exact opposite of the truth). ]]></description>
