[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Evil_Lord: [QB] [QUOTE]Well, NONE, if we shoot down the missiles BEFORE they detonate, silly. *** There's something that some of you people don't understand about odds. If you put up a bulletproof vest that stops 80% of bullets, then 20 out of a hundred will get through. BUT, if you add a second layer that stops 80% of bullets fired at it, then only 4 (might) get through. With a third layer, that drops to 1, and with a 4th, that drops to none. (assuming that the MAXIMUM effectiveness is 80%, which is a pessimistic estimate.) Therefore, we only need to have, at MOST, 4 times as many little missile killers as our most-well-armed enemy has warheads. Considerably less, if we develop a method of killing the missiles before they release the MIRV's.[/QUOTE] Bullets are one thing. Nucleair warheads are another. Your entire argument is based on the assumption that the defensive system will be able to stop 99.999999999% of all incoming warheads. Which it won't. In fact, there is [i]no way[/i] to predict beforehand how effective it would be. Small-scale testresults can simply NOT be used as representative odds. [QUOTE]Not to mention the fact that some people tend to forget: if we nuke China, for instance, the aftermath of that nuke is GOING to affect us.[/QUOTE] ...Which was the point I was trying to get across. And I don't just mean the environmental aftermath. Or did you think dear Double-You wouldn't order any kind of retaliatory (nucleair) strike, after his country had been targetted by [fill in a potential enemy of the U.S.]? He isn't the kind of politician who prefers diplomacy to war. [/QB][/QUOTE]
