It would seem clear that those that wish to do harm to the United States don't like to gamble. They go for a sure thing, that's why they send so many people to see the job to its completion.

Sending a missile from another continent away just isn't a sure thing, with or without a "Missile Defense Shield".

In other words, you can't have "missile" without "miss". A missile could run out of fuel, its guidance system may fail or be mis-programmed. To an agent of ill-will, anything other than a direct hit would likely be unacceptable.

So these misanthropes will probably wait until the technology to have a no-doubter of a missile comes along. Some sort of missile that can't miss, that will reach its target at high speeds with a higher degree of certainty.

Ironically, this is the kind of technology that the proposed U.S. Missile Defense Shield intends to have, at least according to the dramatizations we all see on the news. The irony being that the U.S. Armed Forces appear to be the architects of their own demise, by seeking to create a better missile.
