Not unless the elephant broke out his blade first. Rest assured, had the
elephant taken out his blade the deluge of blood would have been a secondary
concern. I herby declare this metaphor dead. Let me finish by saying Ed that I
believe the balance (however rough it was at times) between our conventional
force and our nuclear force combined to successfully win the Cold War.
