As the president parties with Beyonce and Jay-Z, and the national media focus on an entirely defensible statement Mitt Romney made five months ago, Asia edges toward war. Repeat: Asia edges toward war.

China and Japan are engaged in their most bitter row since World War II over three islands in the Senkaku chain that both nations claim.
