Not really, I think you are being a little dramatic. There is very few countries where americans shouldn't go. I am american and I have been to Cuba, and I remember before I went coworkers were telling me to be careful that i was gonna be kidnapped. It was an awesome trip and it let me realize how ignorant people are that don't travel, just stay in the states. But if you talk about going to Iran, or a country like that I agree with you, I wouldn't go, but if you mean Cuba, or Venezuela, its ridiculous.
