A nice Beethoven quote? No, the Music is from Friedrich von Schiller. But did you know, ninenot, that this "Ode an die Freude" with the text by Friedrich Schiller is the official anthem of the European Union?

We can see that the Iraqis aren´t shocked. Otherwise, the military in Basra would surrender - after so many bombs and so much pressure from US forces.

Sorry, my mistake.

I knew it was Schiller...but the EU anthem item is news to me. Thanks.
