Maybe I've been watching too many cop shows

When I read today that Russia is urging Iran (one of their client states) to submit to international inspections of their atomic program, the following image came to me:

"So those are your options. You can talk to the guys in the next room... or you can take your chances with my partner, who will happily beat the shit out of you, claim that you were resisting arrest and had a concealed weapon, and brag about it later to his buddies. Neither of us wants that to happen, right?"
