Even Spain is written in English and does not say Espanol next to it

Walter and Utah over 300 languages are spoken in just London alone. So should we have 300 UK flags all with a different language next to them?

HOLY CRAP! The best question I've seen all day.
The last straw......
This is out of control. I've got to do something. I'm going to email Yahoo, my congressman, reps, etc. but that's not where I'm stopping. GRRRRRRRRRRR!

Actually, America doesn't have an official language--it's English by default. And, if you look, there are two American flags, one that says, "United States" next to it, and one that says, "en espanol." That's for the people who live in the United States, but prefer to read the page, or need to read the page, in Spanish. It's just to accomodate those who speak Spanish in the United States.

Latin once was the educated language for all developed countries (the dead version). Spanish is similar, but not the same. In those days educated people all learned classic Greek and Latin.
The seal flag motto is in Latin. The real flag is just stars and stripes.

Because, believe it or not, English is not the official language of the United States.
In addition, it might surprise you to learn that many people who speak Spanish live in the United States. Ergo, having them place their questions and answers in another country would be out of context.

Because people visit this site from all over the world and they want to read it in their own language.

even if you like it or not, Hispanics are a great force in the States and an important part in your development and (thank God!) cultural diversity

Yes, but do you know how long it took companies to make this change and the cost to remove it? I agree with your point though.
