Team America: World Police is not simply a right-wing satire of post 9/11 American culture. Rather, it seems to be a mostly unbiased political satire, freely and unapologetically taking shots at both the left and the right. My sense is that the producers of the movie exploited as many stereotypes of American political parties as possible. For both the right and the left wing, the obvious caricatures are drawn: patriotic, gun-loving, culturally ignorant conservatives, and the easily swayed, raving mad, liberals with communistic tendencies. If anything, Team America is an accurate analysis of the political atmosphere in the post 9/11 America – both conservatives and liberals have acted in ways to justify their ridiculous characterization in the movie.
