1 - "Missile Defense" does not just equal "missile defense against a nuclear strike on the US homeland".

2 - In addition to non-nuclear missiles and nuclear attacks on targets other then the US homeland (including non-American targets, and American targets overseas), we have to worry about more countries being able to threaten nuclear attacks. What if Saddam had nuclear tipped ICBMs when he invaded Kuwait? He probably would be deterred from nuking the US, but we may have been deterred from kicking his army out of Kuwait. We don't have to worry about Saddam anymore but I doubt he is the last of his kind.
