I was in Europe for only a week but I picked up french/italian very quickly. I studied spanish in class because as you point out, it's worth knowing. Spanish is not awful to know, it supports modern innovation. There are some languages that can't support technical words,etc.
I don't think anyone is misleading Bush. He's a leader. I may disagree with him (which I do) but I'm not going to let HOWARD DEAN become president.
