"We need to get out of Iraq and Syria now. That is the only way that we're going to prevent ourselves from being dragged into this quagmire, deeper and deeper into a war with Iran."

2nd Amendment and Article I, Section 8, Clause 11
Ironically, many who are constitutionally fervent thus defensive of the 2nd Amendment, offer little to no constitutional fervency and defense for Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. Just as those who were concerned and claimed a constitutional crises (though citing no specific passage) during the recent impeachment, have little to no such concern for either the 2nd Amendment or Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. These hypocrisies will persist inasmuch the two major parties and supporters insist making constitutional exceptions for political convenience and leverage.
With that said, the (2nd) constitution is a mere piece of paper, never unanimously supported then and since, therefore conditionally, inherently arbitrary festering, agitating, inciting hence manifesting as egregious inconsistencies.
Consequently, "thou (America) art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting (Da 5:27)", lacking logic, consistency therefore ethic, rudderless in the tumultuous sea of covetousness, presumption, arrogance, violence preceded by disrespecting the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason per disregarding the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters.

More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 141
Most likely to be published later this spring/summer of 2020, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More 100 Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the previous....
PROEM & POEM No. 141 - Bill of Right / 2nd Reprise
Though well educated by government’s schools and universities, well disciplined by society’s fads, trends as well ever-changing norms and morals, the 21st century American mind gravely lacks the logically ethical character and imperatively self-reliant fortitude to critically thus properly distinguish between personal preference and individual right.
If the mere existence of debates regarding rights is not sufficient evidence, then surely the evidence is plain by the various arbitrary conclusions, various arbitrary enumerations, therefore various arbitrary preferences suspiciously sanctified as rights. Plainer still the evidence when products and services requiring others to laboriously produce and provide, are conveniently, covetously promulgated as basic human rights while belittling, slandering and demonizing anyone who questions, challenges or rejects
Yet, against all observable evidences, all logical arguments by many noteworthy philosophers, economists, professors, lecturers, thinkers, and writers since antiquities till present day, the 21st century American mind doltishly misses, brutishly disses or foolishly dismisses, particularly of the two majorly partisan persuasions polarized hence intensified.

O the veneration of Statism by reverent “Thou art great!”
Referent the usual bait and titillation by prattle and prate
Such the parades of pomposities on asses among the masses
Flash o’er head, cash to shred, while raising empty glasses

Iraq War 3.0
Upon the 1st end of the Iraq War... "America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished." --- President George W. Bush
Upon the 2nd end of the Iraq War, though earlier he called it 'dumb' then later declared it 'successful'... "One of the most extraordinary chapters in the history of the American military will come to an end. Iraq's future will be in the hands of its people. America's war in Iraq will be over." --- President Barack Obama
Upon the 3rd beginning of the Iraq War, claiming he is not instigating per political sleight of hand, though in the past he called it a 'bad decision'... "We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war (however) the response for a military action is a military action." --- President Donald Trump
With plenteous leaks, whistle-blowers and most recently the Afghanistan Papers, debunking every justification for the last near-20 years of war, yet my delusional fellow Americans stand arrogant and ready to believe more goddamn lies, of course swallowing the hook, line as well sinker...
"Get ready for the US warfare state to push for yet another war in southwest Asia. But don't expect any of the architects of the last failed war to admit their failure." --- Ryan McMaken

PROEM & POEM No. 140 - Bill of Right / 1st Reprise
All other rights as billed or listed among various governmental constitutions, political documents and international declarations are either redundantly unnecessary, thus compound and complex the argument if enumerated, or more likely disrespects and disregards the singular human right therefore violent towards the individual. To historically affirm, consider Federalist Paper No. 84, originally published during the summer of 1788 by The Independent Journal, New York Packet and The Daily Advertiser under the pseudonym Publius, otherwise known as Alexander Hamilton, hence the following excerpt…
I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and to the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed Constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power.
Generally this poet ideologically despises Alexander Hamilton, although his insight expressed in Federalist Paper No. 84 is not only noteworthy among other such papers but quite logically prophetic as well. History demonstrates time and time again the predicted abuse by the U.S. government as covetously, presumptuously, arrogantly thus violently continued to this day.

O Publius, the one gem deterred, not thy alter-whims
Consolidating schemes upon themes of federalist vim
Yet rightly dividing as unnecessary even dangerous
Rights enumerated, hence allowing purposes devious

Ayn Rand interviewed in 1967 by Johnny Carson
"A free country can coexist with anyone, and incidentally free the rest of the world by example if it is free itself...not by fighting wars (but) by example, by free trade. A free country destroys barriers." --- Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
Ms Rand's response and criticism of the Vietnam War as well US government's aggressive Cold War.policies... Free trade thus capitalism will nonviolently achieve far more across borders and seas, if free trade thus unhindered capitalism exist domestically. Therefore the failures of US interventionist wars upon first the failures of US interventionist economics.
