It's just impossible. Why even try?

Did you read it? An M.I.T. professor said: "The results of these studies are disturbing. They suggest that the Patriot's intercept rate during the Gulf War was very low. The evidence from these preliminary studies indicates that Patriot's intercept rate could be much lower than ten percent, possibly even zero."

Granted, other people disagreed with him. (Which is why I said it was unclear. Which it is.)

You don't think we can now improve upon the patriot missile to make it more accurate?
I should hope so. But if we make it work twice as well, and North Korea builds twice as many missiles, then what?
