Just because something may not be currently "doable" is a reason not to try?????? That's the kind of "indominitable" spirit we can do without. JLA

More than just studies, there are actual tests that prove it out from the most inefficient angle: destruction of a missile in mid-flight. This point of attack, of course is the greatest idiocy since Robert McNamera's "limited escalation". A nearly perfect shield can be built against launch-stage missiles whenever the treasonous political opposition can be broken down. The liberals seem to want to wait until we lose a city. Hopefully it will be a blue zone city. A launch-stage defense, combined with a spaced-based, and launch-from-target-site (short-range) capabilities would keep the "rogues" at bay quite effectively. But, nevertheless, it's still tempting to let someone take out New York or Boston before we settle the debate...
