Thailand's Commander in Chief of the Army Gen. Somdhat Attanand bows before a receiving line made up of the Thai royal family, U.S. President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush
(If there were no other reason to be glad that we Americans dropped the bowing habit, I'd have to say, Thank God none of our military commanders had to bow to blubba)
There is a Scripture in the Old Testament that came to my mind while posting this Buddhist temple photo, which I can't recall well enough to find to post at the moment, but it concerned a non-Israelite whom God healed, who had to return to serve his master (he was a military leader, under orders), and his master served another god, not the Lord. The newly-healed man asked the prophet to secure God's forgiveness for him when he had to go into the temple of his master's god and be the one on whom his master leaned.
