re: #30 John Neverbend

Talking to Iran? I suddenly have a vision of President Bill Pullman in Independence Day talking to the alien through the mangled body of Brent Spiner.

Pullman to Alien: What do you want us to do?
Alien: Die.

Hated that movie. I prefer the Bond version:

Bond: “Do you expect me to talk?”
Goldfinger: “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!”
