This is a highly hypothetical proposition but it follows on from points raised in defence of the 'liberation' of the Iraqi people. One main defence of the Iraqi campaign is that many Iraqi's are happy that the invasion has resulted in the deposition of their former leader Saddam Hussein, a man who used nefarious means to take and hold onto power and maintained a firm grip on the nation despite huge unpopularity among his people.
Now here's the hypothetical scenario (disregarding the obvious realities that would contradict such a scenario in real life)...
China disapproves of G.W. Bush's controversial election to office, viewing it as a fix on account of the Florida controversy, and campaign on the International scene to highlight Bush's 'undemocratic' actions. Bush goes on to pursue his aggressive foreign policy in Afghanistan and Iraq, launching preemptive wars in the case of the latter (and arguably in the case of the former, though that is a debate for another day). China use this as further proof of the Bush administration's unacceptable behaviour on the international scene and also begin building a case at the UN for some sort of action against the US on account of their support for 'terrorist' groups acting against the Government in countries like Venezuela. Bush's approval rating drops to an all time low of 28% and China continue to claim he is a 'tyrant' that the American people want to be free of, they claim acts such as the Patriot act are efforts on his behalf to tighten his grip on the American people and quell insurrection. Bush begins pursuing a missile defence system that will enable him to strike countries further afield than ever before and China decide enough is enough. They claim that the issue is too urgent to wait for a UN mandate claiming the US could attack China within 45 minutes and launch a huge invasion to liberate the American people of the Bush administration...
...as an American who never asked for the Chinese to intervene how would you feel?
