Traditional isolationists don't support US interventionism, and they don't care what destabilization a withdrawal may create in a place Like Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan. They want the troops home, so they are logically consistent when they "decry" intervention and DON'T "bemoan" destabilization.

Interventionists don't "decry" intervention, though they may "bemoan" withdrawal.

You may be talking about Internationalists . They often "decry US interventionism" on political and humanitarian grounds. They prefer diplomacy to military action and don't want to see thousands killed and millions of lives degraded, usually for no achievable end. But once the thousands are killed and millions are living in refugee camps, they "bemoan" their abandonment on the same humanitarian grounds, and out of fear that intervention+abandonment creates larger, longer term problems.

Would be very odd, and logically inconsistent, if they didn't both "decry" and "bemoan."
