Joerg: it's evident he'd feel about dubya...

Beethoven was raised Catholic, espoused enlightenment values, had an interest in Hindu thought, and refused the patronage of the aristocracy in favor of his own efforts.

He would oppose Islamic fundamentalist imperialism and its terrorist attack squads.
Okay Captain dada, I see you've recruited Jesus himself, so why shouldn't I let you have Beethoven? And how about Mohammad Ali? Or the Buddha, or Father Ubu, or anyone else who might come in handy for your racist war propaganda? Eichmann recruited even Kant, for had he not done his duty? When you know your enemy, everything else may start turning amorphous, or sort of, who cares? Enjoy your sonatas. I'm tired.

Good night from Suebia,
joerg
