FILE - This July 28, 2017, file photo distributed by the North Korean government shows what was said to be the launch of a Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile at an undisclosed location in North Korea. Americaâ€™s annual joint military exercises with South Korea always frustrate North Korea.

Tearing down the past is no solution

IF you think our statue controversies have gone over the top, spare a thought for our American cousins, says James Morrow.

Trump’s foes are their own worst enemies

TRUMP’S opponents would be better off preparing a decent candidate to oppose him in 2020 than getting tied up in battles in the media, writes James Morrow.
