Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard seems hell bent on getting a spot on the UN Security Council. If successful, Australia would be in the company of such beacons of democracy and human rights as as Togo, Colombia, Guatemala and Pakistan.
With an election next year - maybe even earlier - you would think Gillard would have more pressing issues back home. Besides, we don't need to grovel to the "Useless" Nations. We just look like sycophants trying to get the approval tyrants. Security Council membership seems to be a badge of honour, street cred among nations. It's a shame most of the members are political ghettos. Not good company to keep.
