An exploring article which seems to make understanding the US-EU growing distance, simple and straightforward caught my eye as the Author explains the differences in American and European outlooks on Democracy, Human Utopia and a staggy explaination of France-German behavior in opposing US war in Iraq, he makes a point that US should try to push India or Japan into the Security Council, for its own sake, as a counterweight to the EU. He puts down this sentence which dignified, justified the whole rest of his article and qualified it as 'nicely written' opinion from me.

The permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, for example, should include India and Japan, countries that by all measures of population, economic power, and military potential warrant parity with current permanent member France.
