Tom, your analogy is almost reasonable, except for one element.  The hunter
and tiger should be more equivalently armed, since they "tiger" can shoot
back even if mortally wounded.  Also, some allowance for the side effects on
noncombatants of massive use of nuclear weapons (no one REALLY knows what
10,000 megatons of nuclear explosions will do to the atmosphere).  Treat
the landscape as being lined with explosives, and I think the analogy will
hold.		-Jeffrey Soreff (hplabs!soreff)
