The plot was allegorical - the head of Starfleet (substitute GW Bush or Obama) sending Kirk and the Enterprise to assassinate a 'terrorist' (substitute Khan for Bin Laden or Sadam Hussein) with rather sketchy justification.
The story goes back to the ST:TOS tradition of having the plot mirror modern day politics.
Abbrams did his homework.
For the most part I enjoy'd it. Spare me the awkward tonsil hockey between Spock and Uhura. And the actor who played Khan was no Ricardo Montalban.
