You know, I find the situation in Belgium most revealing as it demonstrates the vital importance that a common language plays in holding a nation together.

It also reveals how a nation needs a monoculture if it is to truly survive. Multiculturalism has never worked if you try and throw a bunch of people with absolutely nothing in common (the prevailing monoculture) together.
