Is the Taliban’s sleeper cells like the New World Order with its many branches?

Contrary to what we see in the U.S. media neither the Taliban nor al Qaeda are unified efforts with a single goal towards which they all work. Rather they are used by Western Media as an umbrella term to describe anyone at whom the Governments wants to direct public outrage. The Taliban in Afghanistan is largely just a bunch of independent groups who'd be fighting each other if Bush hadn't invaded their country and given them a common foe in us. The same is fast becoming true in Pakistan. The reason the Soviets couldn't defeat the Taliban was that they have no leadership to kill, no bases to destroy, and army to defeat. The same thing is happened to Britain in the 19th century, and to everyone else whose gone in there since Alexander the Great. That the U.S. thinks things will be any different this time just proves how right Georges Santayana was in 1905 when he wrote: "Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it's mistakes".
