The papers are divided on Tony Blair's impassioned call to arms at Brighton yesterday.
Many praise the prime minster's "exhilarating" speech, in which he warned the Taleban to give up Osama Bin Laden or lose power.
The Independent compares Mr Blair's words to those of Churchill.
This was the prime minister as world leader and international statesman, says the Express.
But not everyone is convinced.
The Mail accuses Mr Blair of abandoning any pretence of parliamentary or cabinet involvement in the crisis, and criticises him for failing to form a war cabinet.
Report
The Guardian reveals that the Bush administration is considering a dramatic break with previous Middle East policy, leaking plans to back the creation of a Palestinian State which were drawn up before 11 September.
The paper refers to a report in the New York Times, which claims that Secretary of State Colin Powell is still planning to float the proposal as part of a broad peace initiative, and is debating only its timing.
The News Letter notes that while Mr Blair prepares the country for the probability of war, Northern Ireland is understandably not at the top of his agenda.
But it believes that what he did have to say about Northern Ireland was not insignificant, when he accused both republicans and loyalists of stalling the peace process and reiterated that the IRA must put its weapons beyond use.
But it warns that the prime minister will have to decide where he stands in relation to a situation in which representatives of a fully armed private militia sit in the government of a British province.
Protest
If Tony Blair is too busy to think about Northern Ireland, the Tory's shadow Northern Ireland secretary is not.
The Irish News pictures Quentin Davies walking between police lines with parents and pupils of Holy Cross primary school.
He accused loyalist protestors of being like "monsters", and said their behaviour had no place in a civilised society.
The Irish News leads with reports of a new beds crisis at the Ulster Hospital.
It says a seriously ill pensioner was left stranded in an ambulance because the hospital's overstretched casualty department had run out of trolleys.
The paper also claims that at one stage, bed shortages meant that 18 patients were being treated on trolleys, with a further eight waiting on chairs.
Meanwhile, shock waves continue to reverberate from the attacks on America.
The Independent reports that emergency food packages are being handed out to hotel workers in Anaheim, home of Disneyland.
The paper says many workers face destitution after the collapse of the tourism market.
And thousands of people have been left stranded at airports all over the world, after Swissair suspended all its flights indefinitely.
It's the first major airline that has been forced to cease operation since 11 September, and experts believe it may not be the last.
Finally, the Independent reveals that Maharishi Ma-hesh Yogi, who taught the Beatles transcendental meditation, has come up with a plan to end global terrorism - yogic flying.
He reckons all he needs is 40,000 yogis, housing, expenses and a group of peace-loving billionaires to fund the project.
If enough people gather to mediate and fly they will create a force field that can repel hatred and spread happiness.
A Pentagon spokesman described the plan as a "noble effort".
