Allow me to defend (haha!) missile defense.
Missile defense will eventually absolutely work. With current advances in microchips and technology, there will certainly come a day, perhaps even no longer than a decade or two hence, where our interceptor systems will be smart enough to actually intercept an ICBM in flight and blow it up way high in the stratosphere.
On that day I'm sure we will all take a moment to rejoice greatly before getting back to the work of rebuilding the U.S. city destroyed by a dirty bomb set off by a guy who used as his delivery system (and detonator) a '78 Pinto.
