The record of the Patriots really isn't so good. Inital reports of hitting something like 41 out of 42 counted any explosion of a patriot near a Scud as having destroyed the scud. Later offical American estimates where more like 25% hits and I've heard Israeli estimates of under 10%. I think the North Korean missiles would be more advanced then the Iraqi Scuds (but still not advanced compared to what we have). The Patriots have been improved but I'm not sure that its enough. Tim
