The fifth anniversary of the 11 September attacks prompts a number of Monday's papers to consider the effects of the so-called war on terror.
The Daily Mirror says that "the war unleashed by President Bush and Tony Blair has failed to end terror".
And the Daily Telegraph argues that the UK and US have helped to promote the very thing they were trying to prevent.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail agrees that the response to 9/11 has been "clumsy" and "counter-productive".
'Magic wand'
Many papers report that both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have decided, in the words of the Times, to "call off the dogs" after a week of infighting.
But the Guardian believes that there is "no magic wand to be waved over the accumulated tensions" between the pair.
It says their battle could re-ignite at the TUC conference this week.
Meanwhile, the Sun says Gordon Brown will have to work hard to convince people that he is ready to lead the country following last week's spat.
Minimum wage
The Daily Express has shown particular concern for UK troops in Afghanistan.
It claims that squaddies there are being paid less than the minimum wage and accuses the government of cynically exploiting the troops.
The Mail leads on a claim that the former Royal butler, Paul Burrell, has criticised the Windsors.
The criticism aimed at royals - including Princes William and Harry - is that they have failed to do enough to protect Princess Diana's memory.
Lonely hearts
The Mirror reports the secret of how the Pope's parents met.
The paper says a lonely hearts advert has been discovered in the archive of a German Catholic newspaper from 1920.
It seems the Pope's mother responded to the advert by his father calling for a good Catholic pure girl who can cook, clean and preferably has lots of money.
The advert was originally placed in March 1920 and the pair wed in November. The pontiff is quoted as saying he was "touched" by the story.
