This really has always been the crux of the issue for me so far as Hussein is concerned.
Excellent point, Rekna.

I think when this many Nobel Luareates tell us this, that it will not work and instead will place the United States in a more dangerous situation with hostile ICBM's waiting in "launch-on-warning" mode, we should listen to them.

Their argument, as I understand it, is that deployment of the anti-missile systems would touch off an ICBM arms race that would produce technology that the defensive system would be incapable of keeping up with. . . NOT that the system is currently incapable of taking ICBM's in play right now.
I understand and appreciate their argument. . . but there's another side to the coin. But I digress. . . the feasibility and advisability of ABM systems are fodder for another thread, perhaps.
