American unilinguality probably has more a place in the past than in
the future. I would attribute it more to just nature and geography than
any militant intent. One border is the Pacific ocean and another is the
Atlantic, perhaps the #1 and #2 largest oceans on earth, a luckier
situation probably couldn't be planned. A standard question one got when working at IBM was,
"Oh, I see from
your name that you're French. Have you ever been to France?" probably
a pretty enlightened place, relatively speaking.
He'd heard of France, but never met anyone from there. I feel the same way
about North Dakota :-).
