However, it is also true that trying to keep up with our strategic weapons during the Reagan administration-- Peacekeeper, Small ICBM, stealth technology, and others-- had no small part in breaking the bear's budget and hastening the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Without torturing the metaphor too much more, let me suggest that while the blade was sharp, the willingness to be deluged by the barrels of elephant blood that would have generated made it a fairly certain thing that the slice wouldn't have occurred. 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.
