a realistic solution for the Middle East

[Lord Baal]

Well there you go. Juan Carlos seems like a nice fellow, I'm sure he'll make a splendid king.

Until he inevitably starts an Inquisition. He is Spanish, after all. Surprised he's held it together this long.

 

[Dachs]

He's waiting until the moment you least expect it.

 

[Lord Baal]

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

 

[ParkCungHee]

I'm curious, is there ANY monarchy this forum isn't in favor of a restoration of?

I am firmly against the re-establishment of Manchukuo.

But what about the Qing?

'This forum'?

 

[Lord Baal]

But what about the Qing?

I'd prefer the Ming.

 

[ParkCungHee]

I don't think the Ming have an heir.

 

[Tee Kay]

I don't think the Ming have an heir.

The heir of the last Ming emperor was executed by General Wu Sangui back in 1662 (if he had taken the throne, he would be Emperor Constantine I of China, and the first Christian emperor). Any surviving Ming royals fled with Zhang Chenggong to Taiwan.

 

[Lord Baal]

I don't think the Ming have an heir.

Of course they do.

 

[Graceheart the Leopard]

Simple: paradrop Zombies somewhere in the Middle East. I have a feeling they'd settle their differences very soon. After all, who wouldn't settle their differences when the dead walk the Earth?

 

[ParkCungHee]

Of course they do.

He's just a cheap knockoff of China's REAL ruler

Pfff, China belongs to this man.

 

[ParkCungHee]

All these rulers of China look remarkably similar.

 

[Lord Baal]

All these rulers of China look remarkably similar.

Almost as if they're fulfilling some sort of Western stereotype of an Oriental despot?

 

[ParkCungHee]

Or they're just milking Sax Rohmer's novels for all they're worth.

i Love how Threads always evolve from the real topic (Arab-Israeli conflict) into something completely Different (Imperial China's Stereotype in Hollywood...)

We all know who our Lord and Saviour and leader of China and discoverer of the South Pole is.

You mean South Pole of the galaxy, don't you? In his magic flying schoolbus/junk?
