Nick,
                Withregard of your open letter, I’m afraid that you have misunderstood Rand’spurposes in proposing a declaration of war against ISIS.  Nobody, including the Senator, expects hisbill to pass.  The fact that Congress willchoose not to officially declare war will make it more difficult for The PowersThat Be to wage illegal wars by Presidential decrees.  The inevitable defeat of his bill will be avictory for liberty.
Of course, the illegal warswill continue, but they will be constrained somewhat by his action.  The most likely reaction will be for Congressto pass a third Authorization for the Use of Military Force.  The resulting AUMF won’t be so much of a blankcheck as the previous ones were.  It willlikely include some restrictions similar to his that might not have beenincluded when and if they eventually got around to passing such a bill.  
Even if his bill accidentallypasses, the situation would be improved somewhat by the limits he included. (ingeniousinnovation: the limited declaration of war) Whether his bill passes, or just prompts another AUMF, it would deterfuture Presidents from taking similar actions without first consulting Congress.
I suggested this idea tohim, just as I persuaded his father to submit a similar bill in 2002.  When Congressman Paul submitted my bill todeclare war on Iraq to a Congressional subcommittee, they refused to considerit and said, in the Congressional Record, that they didn’t need a formal declarationbecause the Constitution was no longer valid.
Ron used those quotes toraise so much money from conservatives that he was able to wage his campaignfor the Presidency and start Campaign for Liberty.  I suspect that Rand will get more mileage outof this issue than his father got. 
 It will improve his standing with conservativeswho couldn’t stomach his father’s overt anti-war stance.  And it will either result in his nominationfor Vice President, or strengthen his position in the Senate as a leader forchange.  In no way can it hurt the causefor liberty.
Please don’t interfere withreformers plans just because they aren’t perfect.  Propose some more perfect plans instead. 
The simple way to win the war on terror is to stop killing Moslems.  Identify the real bad guys, cut off their funding, and bring them to justice.  Then pay restitution to the victims of American wrongdoing. 
I suggest that you shouldcall for a bill to deny funding to any individual, organization, state, orallied organization that has practiced beheading as a punishment for any crimesince WWII.  Besides stopping funding forISIS allies in Syria and Iraq, and ending most of the war on terror, it woulddeny aid to Saudi Arabia, Thailand, France, and Germany.  
If you want to see real videos of beheadings,Google “Saudi Arabian beheadings.”  That’sthe way our “friends”, the real radical Arabs, do beheadings, not with rubberstage knives in faked Youtube videos. ISIS, like al Qaeda before it, is just another CIA front organization,but with slightly better propaganda production values.
Another libertarian and Constitutionalbill to propose would be a Letter of Marque and Reprisal against the youngdictator and his supporters in North Korea, authorizing their military, oranyone else to effect a regime change by rendering the criminals (who havereally threatened America with nuclear attack) to justice in South Korea.  Such a bill would require a pledge from theSouth Korean government to accept all North Korean military personnel whocooperate into the South Korean military with rank and pay preserved. (Justice could becarried out later) A reunited Korea would bring peace to the peninsula after sixty years and bring prosperity to people who have suffered for too long.
A bill proposing sanctions against all nations who develop nuclear weapon outside of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty would expose our close allies of Israel, India, and Pakistan, along with North Korea as being far greater threats to our security than Iran.
The President of the UnitedStates has authorized the majority of acts of terrorism (violence or the threatof violence against civilians for the purpose of causing political change) committedsince 1991.  
The current President, andall recent Presidents, should be charged or impeached for high crimes and misdemeanorsincluding murder, mass murder, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and religiouspersecution for their criminal, immoral, un-American actions in furthering thefraudulent war on terror, which is really a war of terrorism against ourAmerican values.  The AUMF only authorizes the President to use "appropriate force" to fight terrorism, not regime change, murder, genocide, or acts of terrorism.
The Israeli-Palestinianconflict could be ended with my four state solution that includes Jerusalem asan international religious city state (as dictated by the United Nations in1948), and Gaza as a separate state from Palestine.  Palestinian territory could be under aprotectorate of Jordan until they establish a stable nation.  Israel deserves defensible borders much smallerthan they currently control.
The Iraq problem could besolved by disbanding the puppet democracy forced on them by America.   TheAmerican people have no interest in preserving that corrupt and failing pseudo government.
 It and the American military, are directlyresponsible for the rise of ISIS in its territories.  The Baath party, which we illegally and immorally overthrew,was the legitimate government that had kept the radical Islamic terroristsunder control since the withdrawal of the British Empire.  When we left, the Baaths came back into power, but withradical overtones.
The Kurdish areas should be placedunder Turkish protectorate status with the directive that they form a newnation in the Kurdish regions of Turkey, Iran, and Iraq.  The Shiite regions of Iraq should be under aprotectorate of Iran with the same goal of creating a new nation.  The Sunni regions of Iraq should be under aprotective of Kuwait or Jordan.
In a similar fashion,Pakistan should establish a protectorate of the Pashtun regions of Afghanistan andPakistan, with the goal of creating greater Pashtunistan (or whatever they wantto call their nation) The rest of the non-nation of Afghanistan should be givena United Nations administered plebiscite to determine whether they want to bepart of a rump Afghanistan or rejoin with Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, or Paraguay.
In each region where bordersare readjusted, they need an independent charitable real estate agency to allowpeople to move equitably to the territory where they are welcome.  With appropriate borders between ethnicgroups, most conflicts would be ended. The United States could bring this about using peacekeepers fromneighboring countries, not American or Israeli forces.
We should pay one million dollars to the family of every person killed by our illegal wars of terrorism against the people of Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, The Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, and any other nation that we wronged.
