Proud of America: statement or question

While watching Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore, I started questioning whether or not this was true. I have to admit I was very upset by the film in general, and after some research I asked myself, Should I feel proud to be American? Is it true that others consider us brutal? I couldn't believe my eyes when I found articles that show the brutality inflicted to others in the Middle East. Then I thought, maybe Michael Moore in his film is letting us know everything the government has been hiding from us. I can go on and on asking myself , is it true or not? Instead I rather accept that this film has some truth to it. I am sure the crying of the Iraqi woman to Allah was real, when she saw all the pain that US forces has caused her and her family. In articles I found I read that US forces had carried our abuse and torture. I know we (as Americans) have suffered enough, many of us have lost family in 9/11 and even have family members fighting in Iraq, but because of all this pain we must be sensible to think that torture is not going to bring back what we've lost, the pain is not going to go away, what this war is creating is hate and more pain that anything.
The website "Proud to be an American", explains what a true American is and it is those acts explain there that makes us feel proud and not inflicting pain. Any act of torture should be punish, and those responsible should be held accountable for those shameful acts. There is no reason to think we are allow to injure others because we are in war or because they have harmed us. We should all feel proud to be an American and never have to question it.

Languages: Is it important for to speak more than one language?

In today's society we are finding more and more need of other languages. In Europe, for example, kids are learning a foreign language at age12, and by age 14, they must choose another one. I was amazed when I learned that, because in the US, students are introduced to another language at age 15. Once these American students reach senior year in high school they have a option to continue taking a foreign language; it's sad to say many choose not to. It's rare to find an American that speaks more than one language, however in another countries is common to find people that speaks more than one.
On Thursday, I went for an interview and I was told that the reason why my resume was found interesting was because of my languages skills. The interviewer said: "its rare to find trilingual people in the market". I always thought that learning another language was important, but I didn't really think that companies were so eager to find bilingual and trilingual assistants. Now I feel that i am worth much more than others.
I think that "us" as a future generation should value the importance of foreign languages, we should focus in learning about others. Languages are important, but also learning about the culture of these languages, will help us understand each other. We must be open to new things, to travel, to discover and be willing to learn.
