Jingoism is defined in the _Oxford English Dictionary_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary) as "extreme _patriotism_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriotism) in the form of aggressive foreign policy"._[1]_
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingoism#_note-0) In practice, it refers to
sections of the general public who advocate the use of threats of or actual force
against other countries in order to safeguard what they perceive as their
country's national interests, and colloquially to excessive bias in judging
one's own country as superior to others.
