Scumbria, If Iran launched a nuclear missile at Israel, what do you think the response would be from the US? A little thought is required here. Before or after the US designed missile shield was put in place? If after, I think the response would be a prayer that the system works and people operate it correctly. If the missile was launched before a missile shield was put in place, like today, the only think the US could do is to hope that the casualties are low. Hopefully, a retaliation would destroy or set back the Iranian nuclear capabilities. But the retaliation is irrelevant to the people who launched the missiles in the first place. I think they share the mentality with the suicide bombers. Mostly innocent people would end up getting hurt in any US retaliation. Your earlier argument, if I understand it correctly is that there is no point in trying to defend against attack A with countermeasure A1, since the existence of countermeasure A1 will cause the attacker to switch to attack B. I disagree. Having response A1 makes weapon A useless, and all the attacker can do is to use weapon B. That is until we develop a defense B1. Joe
