The episode emphasizes her views for the tragedy of her death is more what I'd say. She is TOO idealistic. That's why she had to die -- because she was naive about the true scope of the situation (like a lot of Americans were, though, in fairness) -- and her desire to save lives and keep out of conflict would have eventually done more harm then good.

That she's portrayed as nearly perfect is twofold:
1. We see her largely from Kirk's perspective (who is in love with her)
2. It emphasizes that her view is something to strive for but that we must sometimes compromise on and that, even if it's the right thing to do, there's going to be a price to pay
