There are already short (Avenger) and medium range missiles protecting DC. Most of the batteries are documented on Wikimapia.

Beyond that, given that the missile threat will be ICBMs, the best defense wouldn’t be Iron Dome but rather Aegis criusers and destroyers with SM3s and the anti ballistic missile upgrades stationed off the coasts

Our biggest problem is that the Republicans have lost their courage, while the Prez. issues Executive Orders by the bucket full. These RINOS were elected to fix the mess, not hide under their desks. They could shut Obama down in a Chinese minute, but that takes courage. We can put the pieces back together, but we must have the pieces. And the pieces are being destroyed in front of our eyes.

The will to use our existing resources to blow the crap out of the nork and iranian ICBM/nuclear weapons capability would do much better than building any defensive system..... Cheaper too.
