I love Mitt Romney, but he is utterly wrong. Human ethics do not apply to state actors. We accept this the moment we grant a monopoly on violence to the state. Morality cannot be the rubric we apply to political leaders. It is dangerous to do so. The relevant lens is the national interest.

Disagree. Leaders shape and prioritize national interests. Their ethical choices are essential in shaping both domestic and foreign policy. Also, state actor applies more to the international level in IR theory. The Presidency is occupied by an individual.
