Presidents Sanction Wish List Shrinking


Today the White House announced that President Bush said he would consider shrinking his list of proposed sanctions on Iran. Earlier this year,he had asked the United Nations to impose a list of heavy economic sanction on Iran until it halted its Nuclear Enrichment program. The U.N. Security Council resolution should aim at denying technology to Iran for its nuclear industry and its enrichment programs but not crimp Iran's oil and gas production. As well the President wants this to be the first stage of sanctions, future sanctions could be worse if the Iranian government does not respond to these sanction. Furthermore the President would like for Russia and China to be on the same side of the table as the United States and the European Union. This another change in President Bush foreign policy I feel that their will be many more to come.
