		<description><![CDATA[Allowing Iran to continue uranium enrichment during the first phases of negotiations would have President Bush in a flutter. The former president stood his ground on issues pertaining to talks with Iran, demanding they stop their nuclear program before negotiations could take place. By accepting Iran's continued enrichment practices for a bit during the talks, President Obama is taking another step towards separating himself from the former president's strict, all-or-nothing, no compromise, hard-line, take no prisoners approach to foreign relations and diplomacy.

The United States has warned that the launch would trigger harsher sanctions against the communist country, although China would probably use its veto power in the United Nations Security Council to block any attempt to tighten restrictions.
