"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

Spanish would be the most useful around here, but from a heritage standpoint, I'd love to speak German.

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Wow, tough choices. I'd have to think about this more but it would come down to:

1) Japanese (so I could more deeply experience the culture)
2) Hebrew or Latin or Greek (so I could read ancient texts)

1) Russian, just because. Or maybe German.
2) Arabic/Farsi, the better to understand your enemies.
