“Bi-lingual countries don’t work?” What?
Again, like the Rove comment, where is the proof?
Not helping himself, throwing out unsubstantiated comments like that.

They don’t. Try living in Belgium if you don’t believe it. Let alone Canada/Quebec.

He said that language is a glue that binds a country together. From New HAmpshire you don’t have to go very far to Quebec to find a Canadian province that doesn’t consider itself to be part of the rest of the country. It is in effect a separate country from the rest of the nation. There is a strong separatist movement there. We are at great risk of losing the American southwest. Google the word “Aztlan” if you don’t believe me.

Emotionally, I want to agree with Jake and Mark. However, Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland (tri- or quad-lingual) have existed for more than a couple of centuries each. It seems that the lack of a unifying language causes many unnecessary problems, but it doesn’t seem to be downright fatal to a nation.
