Or attach a small remote to the cat—now we're ...

Let's see, in late 2004, a Boeing anti-missile airborne laser achieved first light; in October of 2006, a laser-equipped 747-400F was deemed ready for testing; in January of 2007, an MD-10 with Northrop Grumman's Guardian anti-missile system took off; now, we're back to the testing stage?

On Monday, many critics of the missile defense system argued that one of the reasons why the missile defense system was useless is that Iran simply doesn't have missiles that could deliver warheads far enough. On Tuesday, Iran successfully tested Shahab-3 (Meteor-3) missiles whose range is 2,100 km.Also, many critics repeatedly say that the missile system doesn't work because it won't stop the missiles and no attacker would have to take it into account. Well, ...
