All I have to say about this ABM and ICBM stuff is that once one country launches a nuclear weapon towards another country, it will be all over within a couple of hours. If we did have a defense system and a group of ICBMs were on its way to the US, I do not think the US will wait to see if all of the missiles will be destroyed by the defense system. I am sure they will get something off the ground just incase. Besides, it would give the other countries an excuse to launch theirs too.
I know it has been 10 years since the Gulf War and technology has improved since then, but the Patriot Missile was not all that effective against a SCUD. I would like to be in Canada to see all the nukes cross each other in the sky on a clear summer day... ;) Just my thought...
