GH,
Did you miss the part in there that said "Limited" strategic ballistic missle? There are more classes to ballistic missles than just ICBM's. If you can hit a target about 5500 miles away, yep that is an ICBM. But a scud missle is a ballistic missle also. And there is probably a larger threat to our troops and homeland from limited range ballistic missles than there is from ICBM's.

And does everybody here think that the only missle defenses we have is "Star Wars"?
