| #3 The improving success rates for intercepts are encouraging, but the issue of saturation isn't addressed. I recognize that revealing exactly how many inbounds can be intercepted for a given interceptor unit is not sensible, but I can't help but wonder about that aspect as it is the one thing that could make a failure of a perfect interceptor system. |

| #2 Ultimately, the uncertainty about the success of an attack created by the deployment of missile defense systems combined with the certainty that an attempted attack will bring a response, will be one of the biggest reasons for a country to decide not to push the button. Of course this assumes that the Mad Mullah's are reasonable. |
