The patriot is not our only missile..it happened to be the one we used in the Iraqi fight because it is good short range. There are other missiles that are capable of knocking out an ICBM. Name one deployed and active missle that can shoot down an ICBM. Tim

Ted, re:"The patriot is not our only missile..it happened to be the one we used in the Iraqi fight because it is good short range. There are other missiles that are capable of knocking out an ICBM." I believe you're wrong Ted. We have no defense against an ICBM loaded with nuclear warheads. Please name your "other missiles". Unless you destroy it before the apex of it's flight, you can forget it. Therefore a space based defense system is the only possible solution. steve
