Depends on what kind of system we would build. We can field a system to defend New York and still be within the terms of the ABM treaty My understanding of the treaty (I have not seen the actual text) is that it prohibits the US from developing any ABM system at all. Back in the good ol' days of the Cuban missile crisis the Soviets were a bit confused. They had some initial problems sorting out why the US was being so huffy about Soviet weapons in Cuba, while the US already had, in place, weapons in Turkey. Seemed fair to the Soviets to put weapons in Cuba. Who the **** said we had to be fair to Communists? Should we have stopped WWII for a while so the Germans could produce more weapons or so the Japanese could develop a nuke? Yes, the US was (apparently) hypocritical about missiles in Cuba vs. Turkey. So what? (Actually, in a secret addendum to the treaty, JFK agreed to remove those Turkish missiles.)
