The reality is 99.9% of people don't actually interact globally in their lives. Who gives a shit if a car mechanic can speak the "language of diplomacy?" We're not all part of a global village, nor will most of us even work in a business situation that will cause us to interact with another country. The most important second language depends on each individual's cultural situation. Around here, it's Spanish, no question.
