In fact, thinking a little more about it, something similar could be said about the entire season arc (or what we've seen of it so far); with her new army, Buffy could theoretically make a realistic bid at conquering the world. Voll, therefore, assumes that she will and decides that she must be stopped. But the power to do something does not necessarily equal the will to do something (and vice versa); does Buffy want to rule the world? Judging from some of the hinted-at discontent in the Slayer ranks, I wouldn't be surprised if that came up again - especially in light of Buffy's rather surprising moral relaxation, which sounds a lot like Faith in s3 and Willow in s6 (both of whom, it seems, are now trying to hold her back from that).
