It depends on the level of tension. If "somethings got to give", I suppose that one might anticipate the breaking point with a military challenge, but the sources of tension must be commensurate with the remedy.........

In looking back I just realized that I have changed my focus here. On the one hand I am addressing tensions rising toward the crux of an arguement. But, It appears that I was refering to something else when I first mentioned the breaking point. So let me add that back in.

The breaking point that I was first refering to was a point at which one or both sides can no longer sustain their resistance to the other side without colapsing or blowing up or something. If you percieve such a point (as I think Bush did) do you agress? first strike? What? and what are the foundational principals that justify it?
