xiphiasI didn't follow the storyline, so could someone who did let me know if this was brought up?
There is already a Marvel universe character who not only had the same political philosophy that Tony Stark was espousing, but who had actual practical experience in using it.
Victor Von Doom believes in the philosophy of security over freedom, and actually manages to PROTECT his people. From what we understand, Latveria is a safe and pleasant place to live, with no freedom or civil liberties, but also no crime or pollution, and entirely safe. So, was there any discussion of simply turning the United States over to Doctor Doom in order to gain the world that that faction wanted?
And, for that matter, if Doctor Doom was an option, what percentage of Americans do you think would vote for him? Sadly, he's a better option than a lot of 'em, who want to take away all the freedoms that Doom would, but who don't have his proven track record of actually DOING something with them . . .
