What's the difference between the Taliban and al-Qaida?

The Taliban is a radical Sunni Islamist movement that governed Afghanistan from 1996 until late 2001. It was removed from power by NATO Forces during Operation Enduring Freedom, but has regrouped since 2004 and revived as a strong insurgency movement fighting a guerilla war against the governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan and the NATO lead forces. Al-Qaeda is a fundamentalist Sunni movement calling for global jihad.It has attacked civilian and military targets in various countries, the most notable being the the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Given the shared militant ideology and isolation from US and western influence, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan provided the ideal refuge for Al-Qaeda in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During that time Al-Qaeda enjoyed the Taliban's protection and a measure of legitimacy as part of their Ministry of Defense.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
