Don't believe your war-mongering administration: There are a lot of people that hate the US, true, but they aren't suicidal - which is exactly what a full-frontal attack on American soil would be.
And 9/11, sadly, has shown the world that the only feasible way to kill Americans on their soil is from the inside - and even that, as we saw, is suicide ... not a great long-term war strategy.

There is no way of stopping these countries from building nuclear weapons in enough time every country with a flag with have access to them.
Many with less then adequate security to maintain such weapons. You never know which little country could have a weapon stolen or a base hijacked, corrupt governemt officals selling them to the black market, etc.
There can be a 1000 things that can go wrong, it takes just 1 to cripple the United States for decades.
If they have the ability to shoot missles out of the sky then they should implement this technology.
Right now we have zero defense against missle attacks.
We have MAD as the only deterrent
