Empty threats

To the editor:

How come when it comes to dealing with Iran, North Korea and the just-concluded G-20 Summit, the Obama administration has made threats that “they had better comply to our wishes or else”? The only problem is that the only “or else” is another threat that they had better comply or else. At some point there has to be an “or else” or we will be reading about an attack on either us or our allies.

It appears that the only actual repercussions that the Obama administration is on those people who choose not to purchase health insurance for themselves or their employees. Interesting isn’t it?
