The problem is that most content is actually highly POV masquerading under the flag of POV. And often it tends towards a certain perspective i.e. one which is both supportive of the hegemonistic status quo and suppressive of alternative viewpoints. This debate is just the visible tip of an iceberg, and you know it so do me and a few other people who don't subscribe to your cosy little view of things a little respect and CUT THE BULLSHIT. The Anti-America deletion and the yattering of the mental sheep that supported it is highly indicative of how desparate some people are to pretend to follow some sort of highly vacillatory NPOV party line.
This is why we'd be much better off admitting that NPOV is an ideal, not something that anything or anyone on Wikipedia actually achieves.
