 Threat and Force
Even if the threat is not carried out, people do not likely to be threatened and are likely to try to subvert or challenge any changes that are made as a result of threats or the use of force.
Thus threats and force and not only risky and expensive; they are also unstable, and parties who are forced to take actions against their will are likely to try to reverse those actions (or any decision made) as soon as possible.
Also, if threat is not used alone, but is linked with integrative or exchange strategies (in what we call a power strategy mix), the threat (or actual use of force) is less likely to create a backlash than if threat or force is used alone.

 Spinsanity - Sorting out the "imminent threat" debate
The greater the threat, the greater is the risk of inaction- and the more compelling the case for taking anticipatory action to defend ourselves, even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy's attack.
It instead contends that the legal concept "imminent threat" embodies should be expanded to allow action against threatening "rogue states" and terrorists even when there is not direct evidence that they are mobilizing forces for an attack.
Some have argued that the nuclear threat from Iraq is not imminent-that Saddam is at least 5-7 years away from having nuclear weapons.
