Sorry about the last message, I hit the wrong key....

What I was saying is that shooting down cruise missiles is no big deal,
all you need to do is beef up the air defense system with SAM's (we
have none now) and the interceptor wings (we have about 300 planes in
noth america, mostly ancient).  We used to have a large system,
but ICBM's came along....  In short, its not a hard problem...
