You can use "rm -i", and then
you'll be asked to specify yes
or no to remove each file in a set
of files.  As to whether you really
want to, well, there has to be
some limit as to how much the
user is protected from their own
actions or you'll never get anywhere.

e.g., "are you really, really sure?"
