Was observing the constant retaliatory responses in the middle east, and thought back to the Cuban missile crisis game theory, and wondered if there was a weakness to Tit-for-Tat: "...Tit-for-Tat did, however, have one major drawback: it could become embroiled in conflict with confrontational programs, and those conflicts could go on and on and on.... The missing ingredient, Axelrod learned after a second tournament, was generosity. Occasional generosity, an unexpected act of kindness even in the midst of conflict, can be an effective way to rebuild an atmosphere of trust."
