Some nations have ill feelings toward the United States and other English-speaking nations, so they would resent the use of English as an international language (as I imagine Americans would if Russian, for example, were used as an international tongue). Another problem is that it gives native English-speaking people an advantage over non-native-English-speakers. The latter would have to work in order to communicate, whereas the formor can communicate without working hard.
