Why do some folks hate it so, that some other folks that are social moderates, think America should and must have a muscular foreign policy

They are not motivated by hatred, but by concern that America is being overextended.

Well that is fair comment. But I think the real movtivation for these Paleos, whom I oppose on almost everything, is not overextension, but the ends of the policy. I think it is a desire to housebreak Israel, and that desire trumps all other considerations. Some of these folks were once militant hawks (with nary a word about "overextension," when the ends were different. And of course, America is not overextended. That is a lie, a flat out lie. A monopoly on high tech warfare, with relatively few personnel, and the end of the need to have troops in Europe, except as support bases for elsewhere, is at an end.
