I guess my personal take on the "Chinese invasion" would be this: If you're going my way, I'll work with you. As soon as your purposes don't serve mine, I'll ditch you. If your direction is more than 90 degrees from mine, I'll fight you.

Seems a bit like what the Iraqis are doing, afaict.

Mari, I think you were right on with the redirection from Brit to Chinese. The cultural/governmental/religious factors play a huge role here. If the drive to unseat Saddam had come from within the Arab world, most of this negative fallout would never have happened.
