Cac:

I suppose I see the difference between boundaries and confrontation much like I see the difference between economic sanctions and declaring war.

The first tactic is... 'if you want to behave that way, fine. We as a country(s) will not deal with you.'

The second is... 'if you keep that crap up, we're going to bomb the sh!t out of you.'

But... you are correct when you say, if you are not prepared to take action on either course, both come off as an 'empty threat.'
