I should hope so. But if we make it work twice as well, and North Korea builds twice as many missiles, then what?

We can build a lot more patriot missles than they can build intercontinental ballistic missiles. It takes a serious effort on their part to put together one missile (I don't even think they really have one that can hit California yet). They are also limited on the amount of nuclear warheads they can put together. In addition, I believe our GDP is about 1000 times theirs. An arms race with North Korea would be like a clothes production contest between my grandmother and Mervyns.
