Also that there were also a lot more people involved in the process then I thought were. This is classified as primary source because BBC is a dependable news network used by many mostly in the UK. It gives accurate information especially in this article on the Soviet Invasion. Limitations to this website are that the month isnt there for very event so I did have to improvise on this in my timeline. The words used do show signs that it was made in the UK because of some spelling errors but still at a higher level.

This website shows the aftermath and effects of the Drone War or Program stared by the US to get rid of Taliban and Al-Qaeda leaders. The Drone war was a very dangerous mission in the C.I.A where the US shot drone missiles wherever they thought leaders were hiding or living or being held. I used this as another one of my effects of the withdrawal because after the Al-Qaeda made their first attack the US wanted revenge. This helped me understand my topic a lot more. This is because it helped me realize that even though wars were numerically over on paper physically they still go on today. I classified this as a primary source because it was written on PBS which also nationally shared with others and used by kids.

I used this to focus on Osama bin Laden before and after the Soviet Afghan war and the U.S participation during this time. This helped understand that Osama almost seemed to look forward to fighting with the U.S and seeing us die. I classified this as a primary source because Osama bin Laden and his group the Al-Qaeda actually participated in the Soviet Afghan war and with U.S attacks. The only limitation to this video is that you dont hear Osama talk for to long a time just short snippets and then narration from the interviewer.

It mostly talked about the destruction this war did and that it wasnt a very humane thing for the US to do because it killed so many innocent people in the process. I used this to get the actual number facts for how many were killed in the Drone attacking. I added this to the article also on the Drone war so that they can come together to show both parts of the missile striking. It helped me understand even more so that the withdrawal of the Soviets and the war in general really effected the US today putting it in its current position. I classified this as a secondary source because it isnt a well known trusted source. Also because the website is dealing with history it deals with all things newsworthy. Limitations to this website is that its not a primary source so you cant trust all information given to you so you have to research if its accurate or not.

Web. 1 Nov. 2011. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzguXsBYReI>. This is an example of the horrible treatment the Taliban gave women after they began their reign. After the Taliban came to power they made all these jurisdictions on women. I used this to view how extreme the Taliban took their laws. This made me understand that the Taliban were stricter than they seemed to be in writing. Some articles reported people thinking Afghanistan was better under the Taliban but this shows that it couldnt possibly be enjoyed by everyone meaning the women especially. I classified this a a secondary source because you dont know where this person got the video from but it looks accurate

Before I only knew that Osama Bin Laden was somehow connected but I never knew how. This is a secondary source book it is written by a historian who wasn't at the actual event. These are just facts that the author researched and found.

This website is a secondary source, because it doesnt give firsthand information from the Taliban themselves. The limitations for this website would be for middle and up due to the vocabulary that the website has.
