Ethiopia backs Japan bid for UN Security Council seat
2006-05-01
ADDIS ABABA - Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi on Sunday assured visiting Japanese Premier Junichiro Koizumi of his governmentÂ’s unqualified support for TokyoÂ’s campaign to secure a permanent seat with the United Nations Security Council.
Well, that just about oughta do it.
The assurance was given during the first round of talks in Addis Ababa on bilateral relations and international issues of mutual interest.

#1  Put Japan on and take France off. One of these is our ally in the WOT.

Besides why should the EU have two seats on the SC.

Better yet Give Iran our seat and form our own 'Union of Democracies' with UK, Japan, India, Poland, and other truly 'free' nations (excluding France - the've already surrendered!)
