God isn't willing that any should perish... but all have chosen sin. Therefore ALL deserve Hell. And so God, being a just judge, has to punish man's sin. However, God's love prevents God from sending all of mankind to Hell. To satisfy His justice He gave His only begotten Son by way of the cross. Christ's death was a propitiation for God's elect.
The President would that there be world peace... but mankind has chosen otherwise. Therefore the President has chosen to use military might where needed to bring as much peace as possible.
Just because God would that all men be saved... it doesn't mean that all men will be saved... nor does it mean that all men will be given a chance.
