Daenarys from Game of Thrones probably counts; because despite being nominally royalty, she is very much driven by ambition to gain power and wield it for good.

Noticeable how many fans think she is going to end up a villain...

Another 'nominal royal, but ambitious to make that mean something' one might be Leia. I suspect Carrie Fisher was consciously channeling Clinton in the last one; Harrison Ford certainly seemed to be doing Bill.

Maybe that's why there is such an idea she is unusually hawkish; a planet-destroying Death Star is a kind of WMD. Star Wars is Sci fi. So there is a billion dollar movie backing the idea Clinton has unrealistic and unlikely ideas about WMD.

America has no problems with human rights violations or genocide when conducted by them or by allies

True.by definition, because anything more than a quiet and polite suggestion and they _stop being allies_.

Sure, there are a bunch of rulers that perhaps could be getting the saddam treatment. The arguments against that course of action are reasonably well known at this point.
