He didn't have to be. If Kingsley had been left as the terrorist he was claiming to be, under the name The Mandarin, it would have been totally fine.
Could have been just the latest person in a long line of people perusing/owning the 10 Rings, they themselves of Mandarin origin.
I remember that trailer and hearing "some people call me a terrorist, I consider myself a teacher." as the rockets in the helicopter unload on Tony's house. So awesome. Connecting it back to the organization that originally kidnapped him would have been much more palpable than introducing a whole new villain with a new backstory and a weak/lame one at that.
