Manifest destiny is moot - we've expanded as far west as possible.
The Monroe doctrine should be moot, but as soon as we have a conservative in the White House, we'll start imperialistic policies in Latin America again.
The real issue, in the future, regarding the security of the Western Hemisphere is the issue of Russian/Canadian relations. Given the shrinking Arctic Ice Cap, there's going to be a new Russian/Canadian economic zone in the arctic. History tells us that whenever there's economic relations between 2 adjacent countries, war soon follows.
