The Wall Street Journal: “The Navy had at least one ship-based Aegis missile-defense system deployed off the Korean coast, with a potential to shoot down a North Korean missile.” (Editorial, “The Taepodong Democrats,” The Wall Street Journal, 7/21/06)

• The Wall Street Journal: “The U.S. is also dispatching PAC-3s, a more sophisticated version of the Patriot anti-missile system, to Japan.
