Dirty Harry and Iran

I was reminded today of Dirty Harry when one of Bill Bennett's callers wondered why the USA won't talk to Iran.
To paraphrase his comments, 'After all of the bad things the USA has done to Iran, the USA must start negotiations, apologize and that will make things better'.

Dirty Harry was a 'cowboy' cop. Shoot first, with his .44 Magnum, and ask question later. His nemesis in the movie hired someone to beat him to gain public sympathy and make Harry back off.

" [Harry Callahan has to explain why he shot a man]
Harry Callahan: Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.
The Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?
Harry Callahan: When a naked man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!
[walks out of the room]
The Mayor: He's got a point."

Does that sound like few countries we know?

It's the late '60s again and the hippies are making excuses again, blaming the USA for everything that is wrong.

Harry showed us the way to go and I think a few, like GW and maybe Giuliani, may remember.
