I love the comment Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has at the bottom of the page. On target as usual.

Yeah, the Chancellor is a bufoon, but there is only one UN reform that will be worth a damn, and that is tearing the place down so that something of value, like a Walmart, can be built on the site.

I have an idea. Enlarge the S.C. to 120 members, and give each one a veto. Then no one need pay any more attention to this silly organization.

The German chancellor's Thursday demand for veto powers in an enlarged United Nations Security Council

Germany, France and all of the EU will have a veto through their EU government representative in Brussels.

As unfortunately as it is for the UK, with the EU constitution and the EU taking on more of the attributes of a large nation-state, I think the fair thing is for there to be one EU seat and one EU veto, not seats and vetos for UK and France (and definitely not Germany). I hope George Bush holds firm and vetos the veto.

Every time I read the list of P5 I can't help but think what a WASTE it is to have FRANCE there.

I mean c'mon.

There are sooooooooooooooo many more important and deserving nations (Japan?)

Upon adoption of the EU constitution, all EU members begin to act as a single political unit - i.e. country. At this point, the EU should receive 1 seat and veto period.
