#1 Make all nations members of the UNSC, then withdraw and boot them out of the US.

#2 Lets see, the EU could be considered which covers UK, France, and Germany. US, Russia, EU, China, Brazil, Japan and India then?

Sometimes Sarkozy confuses me. Why with everything which is going on in Africa would there 'have' to be a -permanent- UNSC member from Africa?

Nah, load the whole damn place up on garbage barges and burn it at sea. If there has to be this 'parliament of man' then start from scratch instead of trying to turn a willy's jeep into an emission safe handicapped accessable GPS guided 10 passenger hybrid airport shuttlebus.

#3 That would work. Since any permanent member can stop any progress with a veto, having more permanent members would guarantee nothing would ever happen. The UN would then become permanently deadlocked. (more than it is now)

#4 They can do whatever they want as long as the US leaves the UN.

#5 Giving Europe 3 seats when, with the creation of the EU constitution, they deserve only 1.

#6 The Security Council used to be the nuclear powers. With that logic, Pakistan, India, and North Korea should be added.

#7 How about just going with NATO instead and drop the League of Nations Part Deux.

#8 Giving Europe 3 seats when, with the creation of the EU constitution, they deserve only 1.

Then we should have three for California, Texas, and North Dakota¹

1 - Fourth biggest nuclear power
