This article is inspired by my master thesis in criminology. My thesis examinedthe war on drugs, its influence on the role of the police, and the way in which thepolice themselves interpret the war on drugs. My master thesis also explored thequestion of consistency between the war on drugs and the government's quest forknowledge-based policing.The article draws on data collected in my master thesis and examines them inlight of Nils Christie and Kettil Bruun's book, Den gode fiende (Suitable Enemies)which focuses on role of the police in the war on drugs.A comparison of these works raises a key question: Are illicit drugs still a suitableenemy in the eyes of the government and police officers?I conclude that the users of illicit drugs have come to be considered both suitableenemies and suitable patients. The government and the police have taken ondual roles as crime fighters fighting the war on drugs and caregivers who viewillicit drug use as a disease.

" 'That's what we need to do is to amend the constitution so it's God's standards rather than try to change God's standards,'" claims a confident Mike Huckabee in 2007 during a competitive Republican primary (Medhurst, 2009a, p. 229). Huckabee, a devout Christian leader and politician found great success in using religious rhetoric to garner votes for his campaign. In fact, religious language is used frequently by politicians attempting to gain approval or pick up votes. This study describes how God is shaped and used in American politics. It explores the meaning of God as expressed in contemporary political discourse.

Numerous archaeological projects have found substantial evidence of the military nature of Maya society, and warfare is a frequent theme of Maya art. Maya Gods of War investigates the Classic period Maya gods who were associated with weapons of war and the flint and obsidian from which those weapons were made. Author Karen Bassie-Sweet traces the semantic markers used to distinguish flint from other types of stone, surveys various types of Chahk thunderbolt deities and their relationship to flint weapons, and explores the connection between lightning and the ruling elite. Additional chapters review these fire and solar deities and their roles in Maya warfare and examine the nature and manifestations of the Central Mexican thunderbolt god Tlaloc, his incorporation into the Maya pantheon, and his identification with meteors and obsidian weapons. Finally, Bassie-Sweet addresses the characteristics of the deity God L, his role as an obsidian merchant god, and his close association with the ancient land route between the highland Guatemalan obsidian sources and the lowlands. Through analysis of the nature of the Teotihuacán deities and exploration of the ways in which these gods were introduced into the Maya region and incorporated into the Maya worldview, Maya Gods of War offers new insights into the relationship between warfare and religious beliefs in Mesoamerica. This significant work will be of interest to scholars of Maya religion and iconography.

G. R. Zondergeld, 'In Groningen everything is the other way around: it is right to be on the wrong side, and wrong to be on the right side'In his book about the university in Groningen (1930-1950), Van Berkel wishes to treat the history of the university during that period as an autonomous process completely isolated from the economic crisis and the German occupation that were going on at the time. In his opinion, the idea of a civitas academica was utterly utopian and false, yet he himself creates a sort of civitas academica by isolating the history of the university from the general political developments as seen by the average Dutchman. In this way, he is able to defend the choice made by staff members and students to collaborate with the Germans as a realistic one, but is unable to show any understanding for those students who refused to sign the declaration of loyalty towards the Germans as he refuses to see this in the context of the Dutch resistance against the German occupation. This review is part of the discussion forum 'Academische illusies' (K. van Berkel).

In 3 Maccabees, kingship as a form of rule is addressed on two levels: On the political level the question about a good king is addressed against the background of Hellenistic understandings of kingship, using the example of Ptolemy IV Philopator. This king is portrayed at the beginning of 3 Maccabees as a successful, positive, Hellenistic ruler, but one whose good rule goes off the rails. This analysis of the ideal of Hellenistic rule (cf. 3 Macc. 3:12-29; 6:24-28; 7:1-9) is then taken to a theological level: the God of Israel is portrayed as the true good king, the Soter who saves his people in their time of greatest trial (6:29, 32; 7:16). By these means the many divine epithets that are a striking feature of 3 Maccabees are incorporated into the narrative (cf. 2:2-3). Thereby 3 Maccabees not only thematises the conflict with a Hellenistic king who exploits his power in diverse ways but also focuses in a concentrated way the notion of a good (Hellenistic) king into the notion of God as king and ruler.

Nobody exercises freewill by voting in an election. Human can only choose from the selections and presentation made by time. Because time governs possibilities and the certainty of any possibility. In addition, the choices that are not in harmony with time are catalyst for chaos
