What interested me particularly was the second-to-last paragraph:

"We must keep Europe in mind in all questions of U.N. reform. The European Union deserves one collective U.N. veto befitting its new transcontinental nationhood, not multiple votes as at present. India and Japan should assume their rightful places at the Security Council table next to the single European vote. And we should press for a General Assembly composed only of elected governments, rather than the present mix of democracies and rogue regimes that often look to Europe for tolerance, subsidies, and trendy anti-Americanism."

I think Hanson's really spot on with his analysis that the UN should no longer be dominated by all those European votes and crackpot dictatorships. The voting needs to be realigned accordingly. A separate vote for France, Germany, England, etc is really unbalanced against us.

I agree. They are proclaiming loudly that they are making one new nation called Europe. As part of the deal you wouldn't get more than one. Germany didn't keep its second seat when it was reunified in 1990.
