Beijing chuckling over Libya?

Stephen Walt, in discussing the difference between neoconservatives and liberal interventionalists, closes with a somber bit of realpolitik.

Beyond worrying about mission creep, undefined exit strategies and other things, he asks who is a likely winner over the Libyan escapade?
Back in Beijing, China's leaders must be smiling as they watch Washington walk open-eyed into another potential quagmire.
I can't argue.
