The time is not right. Plus, this time you would have to try not to be a bunch of German *******s. Germans are lousy tourists and even worse conquerers. Before you invade again, take some sensitivity training.

Oh, you should see Albert's glorious logic on the Phoenician heritage of modern day Arabs in the 'Dubai' thread.
Leaving alone the rather obvious fact that the Phoenician city states were made up of a rather heterogeneous mix of peoples drawn from the Aegean (Cretans, Cypriots, the Sea People) and assorted Semitic groups (Canaanites, Amorites) as well as who knows who else (Hittites, Egyptians, Hebrews) one wonders just how one gets from Hiram of Tyre to Walid Jumblatt or Bashir Gemayel with any kind of logical progression.
At least with the Germanic Teutonic Knights settlement and crusade in the Baltic lands there is a linguistic and cultural link all the way to the 20th Century even with the Duchy of Prussia being a Polish fief.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Too late Ecthy. You Germans worry about too much.
"I think we should have a civil war first, about the Berliner vs. Pfannkuchen issue."
Leave the Danish out of this.
Really though, you guys can't even agree on what to call a pastry, how did you ever manage a united nation? True, you were the last in europe to get it together, even after Italy yes?...and of course Austria...you still don't have it together! What about your Austrian brothers?Long time member @ Apolyton
