I think it relates to the war in Iraq, definitely, but the father's son is George W Bush, following in his father's footsteps with the war. I love the first verse - "Bread can feed a few, so can some cartoons" - some people take their nourishment and life force (physical, spiritual, emotional and mental) from appropriate things, things that will genuinely feed them, while others sate their appetitie with consumer culture and 'fast food' which will leave them unfulfilled. As spoken from the father's son's perspective, it could mean that some people will only be satisfied with the truth (the bread), while others can be distracted by pop culture and don't see any further.
The third verse draws the distinction between the Bush father/son and God/Jesus - 'watch them pray, to you I suspect' - the message that you follow in the path of those who went before you, whether you are mortal or deity.
I think the "cartoons" are the religious figures... Jesus and Allah are like He-Man and Skeletor. In another 2000 years, who knows, maybe they will be? Cartoons are fiction, so are the Bible and the Koran... yet people choose these things, these blood-soaked myths over real tangible things like science, medicine, logic.
