There are noble causes in this world that have to come to be realized on their own. Iraq was one of them.
At this time, I would agree we cannot take on China. When the war on terror has been won, however, we will most likely need to address the potential Chines threat as well.

I believe you misunderstand the reference to the noble cause - it has nothing to do with the Iraqi (or Chinese) people and thier happiness, and everything to do with protecting the interests of the US and keeping our status as the lone superpower.
