Columnist Comments
• Brown can't even stick to his own nonsense on Afghanistan
Bit by bit, as happened with Iraq, the reasons for staying in Afghanistan slide into gibberish. So Gordon Brown's reasons for the war seem to change every week.
• Why defining identities is more than Armalites and Ulster Scots
If you think you're a unionist or a nationalist can you define what you mean?
• Cannabis: it’s time to stop the lies and start a rational debate
It doesn't require a Leap of faith to support the growing calls for a radical rethink of policy on drugs and in particular on the decriminalisation of cannabis.
• We're stuck with the Assembly . . . and it's no laughing matter
A few evenings ago the Minister of Health at Stormont, Michael McGimpsey, was to be seen on the television news offering his audience what he termed a 'joke'.

• Thierry Henry's confession leaves revolting taste
The Republic of Ireland is entitled to believe it has never seen anything so cynical, so far removed from the spirit of sport, as the devilish hand played by Thierry Henry to deny Giovanni Trapattoni's team a place in the World Cup finals that would have been so thoroughly deserved.
• Wenger’s way a lesson to all of us
Arsenal are scoring goals galore at the moment. Not exactly what everyone was hoping for at Sunderland ahead of our Premier League game with them tomorrow.
