Yeah I agree with you. There's a difference between preserving diversity and trying to push your language down other people's throat. Clearly some of our laws and official posturing has more to do with the latter than the former.
And obviously I won't oppose English becoming the language of the EU since the other obvious contender would be German and I can barely speak a lick of Deutsch!

The only problem is that it has accumulated a lot of crufty spelling and prononciation, but that's easier to fix than grammar.
