Political subtext?

I'm not really politically astute enough to understand all the hidden messages in this film, but I suspect that there are loads of them. For instance, having apparently seen Watchmen one too many times, I've concluded that the Genie on one level represents the atomic bomb and the political power whoever wields it commands, and the inherent danger in one's power being based on a weapon that can be potentially controlled by multiple entities. Remember also that in 1992, the Cold War had just ended, and there had to be someone who was worried about what would happen to these weapons that we 'didn't need anymore'. Aladdin finally keeping his promise to free the Genie represents the Utopian idea of nobody having the bomb.

Also, there are obvious ones, like Jasmine being forced into marriage by the Sultan, and multiple different references to Sharia law. Jafar controlling the Sultan can be likened to a puppet regime (or in later years, Cheney and Bush), and Aladdin 'liberating' the Sultan from Jafar's control just before Jafar finds a new power base and formally takes over the government reminds me of a few news stories I've seen.

However, I'd love to hear from someone marginally less insane than I am. Who's got a wacky Aladdin theory?
