Aren't we stretched pretty thin with the highly weakened country of Iraq and with Afghanistan? How come I never hear them talking about that anymore?

4. Not the "right's" policy. This was standing doctrine under Clinton, too
We have always maintained (the fiction?) that we could fight two wars/fronts at the same time, Korea plus another area.

6. Hmmm...
Probably hiding in the same place as their distinction between a country and it's government, as well as their mistrust of the latter.

7. The Right Wing Answer
After Ronald Reagan (praise his name for ever and ever) single handedly won the cold war, the doctrine became obsolete.
