To my surprise: I read in Japan Today,that the President from the U.S will only support Japan as a new permanent UNSC member.
He calls Germany a very important country. Yes, I read it quite some time ago that the U.S. is not really interested in Europe. It never was. The attention goes to Asia, especially to Japan.
I have always wondered why. Is it because the U.S. knows that Europe will not attack America? Germany is a very important country ... but not important enough?

WASHINGTON — U.S. President George W Bush said Wednesday he would only support Japan as a new member of the U.N. Security Council and has no intention do so for other countries. Asked in a German television interview if he will back Berlin's desire to win permanent membership on the powerful U.N. body, he said, "I have not taken a stand on any specific country, except for Japan, and won't."
While calling Germany a "very important country," he said, "The only one country that I've endorsed has been Japan, and it's been a long-standing policy of the government of the United States, and I continue that policy." In his speech during the U.N. General Assembly meeting in September, Bush singled out Japan as a country that is "well-qualified" to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.
