It's only new since Reagan.

Reagan's foreign policy was more about containment, a very strong military and military defense positioning to prevent war. Rand seems to want to play the middle ground like Reagan did on foreign policy. The McCain/Rove side of the GOP is different in the fact that they justify little war to prevent big war.

Ron and Rand Paul are less hawkish than Reagan. I doubt very seriously that either Paul would have sent troops into Lebanon. I would put Reagan in the middle ground between between Paul and McCain.
