So I was surprised to find it nearly a week since he edited it, and that
nearly 40 edits have happened since then.

one will do anything about him, so I have given up.  Even when I pointed
that out, I was told, "Oh, he must not have done it intentionally."

Well now, I don't think we should have anti-American POV in WP.  I think
'jingoism' is actually wrong, as used here.  You get chauvinism and
nationalism everywhere, at the extremes of sentiment, though - who is going
to deny that?  Jingoism assumes some willingness of Americans to go to war
with Chirac; which would imply partial deafness?
