That's fine, if you happen to be in a city targeted by one of the 90%. Not so good if you have the misfortune to be in the 10%...
I believe missile defense is only going to become more important in the future, not less. Not just national missile defense, but also defense of our citizens and deployed forces abroad. We should be working to a 99% effectiveness or higher.
Yes. “Admin. thinks it is adequate”...I do not think 90% effectiveness is an adequate stopping point, and agree with you. It is not in the interest of the US to have a minimized missile defense system. Moreover, the 90% effectiveness is probably overoptimistic at present.
Can’t we just surround N Korea with a localized shield, shooting down ANYTHING that is launched?

Maybe, before Hawaii is fried, the birth certificate will mysteriously appear.
Sounds like an act of war to me. Is zero really going to treat it as such?
Where are all those DUmmies that were laughing at Reagan and Missile Defense now?
