2. And just for the heck of it, the origin of the word "jingoism"
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 09:37 AM by ET Awful
is an old English bar song:

We don't want to fight, but, by jingo if we do,
We've got the ships, we've got the men,
we've got the money too.
We've fought the Bear before,
and while Britons shall be true,
The Russians shall not have Constantinople.
