<p>Why Germany ? Does Germany have a vision of international challenges ? Maybe, I don't know, but Merkel and Westerwelle don't.</p> <p>If a country / a region wants to ask for a greater role at international level, having an enormous population and an enormous GDP is not a sufficient justification. This country / region has first to make clear signs that it has a vision and a strategy for defending the collective interest. But having a seat in the SC doesn't make you have one, as the Merkel case showed.</p> <p><strong>Having abstentionists in the UN security council doesn't really make sense for anyone.</strong></p>
