Should I learn Russian or Arabic?

I'm thinking about getting the rosetta stone over the summer and was wondering if I should purchase Russian or Arabic. I'm already proficient in Spanish and can understand most of the Cyrillic alphabet. Also, I would like to either work with the United Nations or become a translator when I grow up.Should I learn Russian or Arabic?
Arabic is probably best with the conflict in the Middle East. Russian was more important in the days of the USSR. However, Rosetta Stone alone will not teach you Arabic. It is a very difficult language (the US government puts it with Chinese, Korean, and Japanese) and will take years and years to grasp. Russian in contrast is much easier to learn.

russian makes you sound like a beast (if your man) arabic makes you sound like a terrorist but may save your lifeShould I learn Russian or Arabic?
russian is much cooler, but arabic is great aswell, i would go for arabic because its used all over the middle east. but its your opinion of what you like.
Defiantly Arabic, with all the problem we have in that region, you shouldn't have a problem working for the UN.Should I learn Russian or Arabic?
...Arabic because much more jobs require you to speak this language, such as the FBI.
Sure, russian is an option
Russian, the problem is in afghanistan now, they speak pashto not arabic
Hey they both got oil ! Who has more ? (oil = economic activity)



The Russian might be an easier one to start with, and if you can master it and still have brain capacity leftover take Arabic along with some aspirin. I believe there are more separate dialects in Arabic than possibly any other language spoken today. I though I was smart when I learned a few expressions in what I thought was Arabic but as it turns out it was a dialect spoken in only in about 3 countries and then only in parts of them !
Arabic it is used all over the Middle East, Africa and certain parts of Europe. Sure there are different dialects but you get that with all languages....
Russian.
