Think of this analogy:

al Queda = their military arm that destroys everything and everybody that the dictatorship does not want to live

or

BushCheney Administration

Military blindly going where they are told to go and doing what they are told to do without question

Answer 3

Both supported by the US then we had a scenario, we play Cowboys and Indians

Answer 4

Taliban is a political movement that turned into a regime. Al Qa'ida is a multi-national network.

Answer 5

The Taliban was the Sunni Islamist organization and governing body of Afghanistan from 1996-2001, with some resurgence in 2007. They were headed by Mullah Mohammed Omar and "removed" from power by the US.

They have worked with Al Qaida, and offered to hand Osama Bin Laden over the USA or try him under Islamic law if the USA could provide evidence that he was guilty of 9/11. The USA denied their request and instead demanded they turn him over without evidence, which the Taliban refused to do, so when you consider that alongside Bin Laden's probable headquarters in Afghanistan this provided a reason for USA police action in Afghanistan.

Al Qaida is a terrorist organization operating throughout the middle east and some Asian and African countries. Contrary to what people believe, they don't have borders just within afghanistan. They operate amongst many middle eastern countries like pakistan.

Al Qaida was responsible or 9/11 and most of its members pledge their allegiance to Osama Bin Laden, who has trained in many of their training camps. Al Qaida has training camps set up across the globe to train members in killing and jihad (holy war). They are very fundamentalist Islamic, so they differ from most muslims in the countries they operate in (because most muslims aren't like that at all). They are a fundamentalist terror organization and are currently believed to be harboring Bin Laden in Pakistan.

Answer 6

No difference.

Both being "Reincarnated" from the graveyards of failures and horrors of the past from the same community.

With one digging up in shaking and waking up the older dead Mummy.

While the other in digging up in shaking and waking up the younger ones.

Both blindly searching their way back to the pyramids in Egypt.

Creaking and rattling with empty skeleton of skull and bones with two empty eye sockets

Were blind with total loss of IQ without being aware of it.

Getting themselves kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy with self lack of knowledge in kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God.

While idol worshiping the dead Mummy with whiff of rotten stench of empty skeleton of skull and bones of failures and horrors of the past with two empty eye sockets from someone else graveyards.

While the dead were all laughing at their misery.

Until idol of statues had tears on them .

Could not stop themselves from laughing at their misery when they were the living and not the dead yet.

What do you think?

Answer 7

it depends, whether they are fighting in pakistan, or Afghanistan.

Answer 8

The difference between getting stabbed in the left eye versus the right eye. They are both evil, I think one is marginally more vicious then the other.The U.S. supported one and possibly both when they were fighting the Russians.I don't remember for sure how it went back then.
