ENGADGET: First piece of SBIRS missile defense system launched, not shot down
The surest way to protect the United States from a high-altitude EMP is by deploying a ballistic missile defense system that can intercept and destroy a warhead before it could be detonated above the U.S. This would prevent an EMP attack and eliminate any potential harm to U.S. systems, and it could even deter rogue leaders from considering the use of EMP.
Yet they now evince a passionate desire to leave us wide open to just such incineration by contemptuously refusing to participate in ballistic missile defense, the only system that can prevent it.
Moreover, because protecting America's entire civilian electronic infrastructure is not fiscally feasible and because a ballistic missile is the most likely delivery vehicle for an EMP attack, the most prudent method to protect America is a missile defense system that could destroy a ballistic missile before it reaches U.S. airspace.
Mr. Gore, like Mr. Clinton, favors negotiating with the Russians to change the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and make way for the more limited missile defense system.

After North Korea launched a rocket over Japan's airspace on Aug. 31--Pyongyang maintains it was merely an attempt to place a satellite in orbit--Tokyo quickly overcame its qualms about helping the U.S. develop an expensive theater missile defense (TMD) system to shoot down ballistic missiles.
Last week, the Pentagon demonstrated for the third time in a row the inherent feasibility of recommendations insistently advanced over the past seven years by organizations like the Center for Security Policy, High Frontier and the Heritage Foundation: The U.S. Navy's Aegis fleet air defense system can be rapidly and effectively adapted to perform ant-ballistic missile missions from the sea.

In a report published by The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Rubin, who has been awarded the Israel Defense Prize and oversaw the development of Israel's Arrow missile defense system, concludes that Iran today has the capacity to develop solid-fuel-based intermediate ballistic missiles with a range of 3, 600 kilometers.
As the Clinton administration approaches its decision this fall on whether to begin deployment of a national missile defense system, the public debate has been heavily influenced by the assumption that the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union is still in effect, and that the United States must "abrogate" it in order to deploy defenses.
