I believe the converse is true. I believe Cap is motivated by ideals.

If the law is a bad law, he isn't going to automatically enforce it.

Durring WW2, America wasn't fighting for an ideal Cap believed in.

But he would not form some illegal militia to do...what exactly?
He made no move to change the law or appeal to the American populace (which might have done the trick- he's a popular guy)- instead he was just going to continue with superheroping as though nothing had changed....


pretty short-sighted.

Cap is the one that made it all personal- blaming Tony for a law that the people wanted and the President signed- Tony had dick to do with it and had been warning peope forever that shit was coming their way.

Stamford just gave the forces aligned against them the greenlight to move- in a very plausible way, Tony's actions prevented the Days of Futures Past sceneario wherein the Sentinels wipe out all costumed heroes and set up mutant concentration camps- Tony and Reed headed that off at the pass by getting the public to support Superheroes again, even if it was as government agents.

Now the MU is worse off than ever- Osborn is free (with the backing of both Hydra and AIM) and splitting public opinion on the Avengers and heroes in general, the world is still reeling from the total failure of heroes to protect them in Fear Itself and Steve is still playing like it's 1995.

Really, it's looking like Logan's X-Force idea is the only effective team out there.
