Me too if you want to define it that way. I took pains to define it for you in a different way. Guess I need to invent some new vocabulary if I dont what you to use it in a different context.

The breaking point, as I was using it is not the point where resolution of the tension is achieved it is where the issue is broken and neither side has resolution. In the case of Iraq the issue of how can we get Iraq to cooperate with the disarmamement orders is no longer an issue if they no longer are even willing to consider the goals of the orders. When that outcome was percieved by Bush as a possibility down the road, he/we decided it was time for a different Iraq. In a way, it is a breaking point also, but it is not the Imaginary Breaking point that was the source of tension in the first place. Would you like to suggest some different terminology?
