...This will not be easy. Somehow, U.S. diplomats must help convince all three Asian nations that they can rise together, rather than descend into bitter rivalry. Japan will need special attention; its politics are becoming worryingly sclerotic, and it is beginning to feel overshadowed by China. Tokyo may soon need reassurance that Washington still takes the alliance seriously. But for all the difficulties ahead, the accompanying charts should give a glimmer of hope. The U.S. and the three Asian giants are becoming ever more closely interconnected - and not just economically. We have become familiar with the way in which trade...

There, a Christian family was celebrating a wedding on July 28 when, somehow, a rumor spread alleging that the revelers had torn the pages of the Koran and thrown them in the air. No evidence has emerged that this actually happened. But the mere suggestion appeared to set off days of rioting. Christian homes in Korian were torched before the violence spread to Gojra. Last Friday, Christian residents say, the preacher at a nearby mosque issued a fiery sermon inciting violence against them. The police visited...
