Missile Defense System One Step Closer

Reagan's idea of a missile defense shield came one step closer to a reality on Saturday with a successful test of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system (THAAD). This is good news for the U.S. and bad news for the likes of Iran and N. Korea who seem to be actively trying to develop ICBM's.

While this is good news, the system doesn't however, provide any protection against nukes that are simply walked across our naked southern border.

UPDATE: The Washington Times has an article that talks about the ICBM programs in Iran and North Korea and how there may be cooperation between the two nations to develop them.
