Rails - Aug 2006 - need a warning for destroy all

I wrote a small controller to find all the expired items and destroy 
them:

@listtodestroy=Product.find(:all, :conditions => [''user_id = ? AND 
date_expires <= ?'', @user.id, Time.now])
      for product in @listtodestroy
        product.destroy
      end

It works fine but there''s no warning that everything is about to be 
removed like when I call product.destroy on an id instead of array.  Is 
there a simple way to call the "Are you sure?" dialog for the above?

Thanks..

The confirm dialog needs to go on the form button/link that calls the 
above controller action. Once the request is fired off to the controller 
you have no control over it until it renders/redirects.
