There's no point in any African nation getting a seat -- they have NO way of projecting their power or keeping the peace even on their own continent. They can't even pay their way. Ditto for Latin American and Caribbean nations. Now Australia CAN carry her weight and MORE, but she's not got a large population (it does count!), France, yes she does toss her weight around West Africa, but I think that's really just an extension of colonialism. the UK deserves her seat as does Russia, the US (of course) and yes, even China. Japan should be on because I feel Japan should be rehabilitated into the world and I think Japan CAN carry her weight military if need be (they are easily able to carry their weight economically). India can take care of the Indian ocean pretty well (as demonstrated during the Tsunami crisis) and is improving further militarily, socially and economically.
