   Sure. The disaster movie of the weapons is that with few nickels you   
   could a lot of damages. Let's look at some figured numbers:   
      
   Costs of sanctions   
      
   -20   ->     -50   
      
   Cost of sabotages   
      
   -10    ->   -100   
   or   
   -100   ->    -10   
      
   So let's suppose sabotages should be compensated by an imaginary law,   
   at least in the direct and indirect (lose of gains) costs. That put   
   the stakes high, so high that the imaginary law includes the provision   
   that revenge never could be more expensive than costs.   
      
   Coming back to numbers, that is   
      
   -100   <-     0   
   or   
   0      ->  -100   
      
   So adding up all this game, contendants could lose   
      
   -130       -160   
      
   Not a very clever game, but in addition... someone figure it could be   
   better arranging a mayor damage, in the order of -200? No at all,   
   because you are lowering your participation in the differences, which   
   are the reasons why the contendants are contendants.   
      
   Peace.
