Hollywood either prefers to stay away from the war on terrorism altogether (the film version of Tom Clancy's "The Sum of All Fears" changed the villains from Islamist extremists to neo-Nazis) or to use it, even in its pre-9/11 form, as a morality play to warn against lost civil liberties (see "The Siege," starring Denzel Washington). He left out another Denzel Washington flick (hmm pattern?) - the villains in "The Manchurian Candidate" were changed from anti-American communists to international corporate figures [at least that's what the review I read says - I didn't waste my money to go see it].

The Hollywood Leftists always tries to make the bad guys out to be well-off white men. Anything else just wouldn't be Left enough.
