There are some who are not entirely convinced that a missile defense shield will be necessary in the war against terror.
It is highly unlikely that al-Qaeda will launch an ICBM at the United States. It's more likely that they will try to smuggle a warhead into the U.S. and then detonate it when it is precisely where they want it to be. So why do we need a missile shield if the enemy pre-positions WMDs on our soil?
As far as protecting American territory from terrorists, more money should be spent on border interdiction to stop WMDs from being smuggled in by al-Qaeda and other similar groups.
