UN Security Council Expansion

Fire of Liberty

It seems the US is cold on the idea of making Germany a permanent member in the UN Security Council but seems to be warm on Japan, India or another developing nation like Brazil. I guess having the French on the Security Council is about all of Europe that the US could stand (I'd be inclined to trade Germany for France if I could). Anyway, I agree that Japan(2nd Largest donor to UN and powerful democracy in Asia. Help hold China's expansionist tendencies down.) and India (Biggest democracy/capitalistic nation in Southern Asian region and could be both an economic/political model for China and a check on its military. India also has a large Muslim population who live in a semi-relative peace with fellow Hindus.) would be two good picks for the Security Council.
