Interesting take! However, what if a leader takes a logical, not moral, approach to a matter or a political view? For instance, (and I thought of this because I really couldn't think of something else XD) let's say that California has a zombie virus and everyone there is turning into zombies and eating everything. There's no known cure for it and the disease is rapidly spreading. The only option to stopping it is bomb the cities in that state that harbor the most zombie and clean unaffected people to prevent the disease from spreading further... and the president had promised to protect the people of the U.S...
The more I write, the more crazy this seems, I apologize.

Sounds good. In morality, you don't harm others and others don't you. The non-aggression principle, go look it up. If someone ingresses on your right to not have your life stolen, sexual preference stolen, etc. then they lose their automatic right to be free from harm as you can engage in self-defense of various levels that can harm an aggressor, a violator who violates your moral rights. Zombies, even if there was a cure, you could kill them since they are trying to kill you, and they would, guaranteed. If zombies didn't try to eat people and did no harm, that's another issue ;)
