Bush and God

These cartoons make me think about what is happening inside Burma. They look like the same.They all use religion for the sake of social control and transform it to suit their purposes.I have learned the history of the relaion between Politics and Religion as

"In ancient times politics and religion were often one and the same. There was the concept of 'Divine Power' of kingship in which royal power is believed to be derived from god and therefore subjects should obey him. Earlier thinkers like Marsillo made an effort to separate religion and politics. Machiavelli was the first person to reject the authority of Church."
