In this day and age those things are about silly. Any medium-sized country could take one out if they really wanted to. And probably do it in a manner which wouldn't be detected.
A few Exocet-type missiles launched from a very small, under the radar unmanned surface craft would seem to be a simple way. Or a couple-three ground-skimming (sea-skimming) cruise missiles as that technology gets more and more available. And those could be launched from a relatively anonymous, unmanned surface vessel.
Seems like another case of the last-war syndrome. They seem to be sort of like WTCs which don't need a fully-fueled plane to take 'em down.
What the hell. "They" named an airport after Reagan, and a baseball league after Bush the Second.
