The President of the United States of America could never adopt such views because he is responsible for safety and security of the entire nation and all its citizens where ever they may be in this world.



This is horse pucky. An elected official is not the "father" of the nation and his responsibility is for the safety and security of the nation as a whole, not for those who exercise free choice to make their own decisions about where they will place themselves in the world. If he paid more attention to international dynamics and less fretting about the safety of individuals he would be doing a much better job. He is not the King, nor is he the Chief Executive Officer in the way a corporate CEO is.

It is good policy to care about American citizens and male it clear that the nation will look after its own and get rough on those who mess with them.   But that should not be perverted into a paternalistic attitude. That way lies folly.
