No one supports the Taliban my friend, we wouldn't be fighting the Taliban if we were. If you wish to listen to conspiracy theorists that have no basis, only speculation & conjecture to support their claims, be my guest. Afghans support the Taliban more than the power hungry landlords who constantly fought each other & had no system for justice, only corruption, which is why the Taliban first came into power in the first place with popular Afghan support accepting them with open arms. The same landlords Karzai has reinstated into power, which is why he gets no popular support from common Afghans today, and needs America to protect him and keep him in power. The Taliban are ethnic Afghan Pashtuns. You have clearly been listening to the Indian media too much, that really has no clue what it's talking about.
Not Surprised by your comments, Its typical mentality... Living in denial....
During the power vacuum created by the Soviet troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989, the country was torn apart by warring mujahideen groups and the ISI of Pakistan grasped the chance to wield power in the region by fostering a previously unknown Kandahari student movement.[1] They continued to support the Taliban, as Pakistani allies, in their push to conquer Afghanistan in the 1990s
Although there isn't any evidence that the CIA directly supported the Taliban or Al Qaeda, some basis for military support of the Taliban was provided when, in the early 1980s, the CIA and the ISI (Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency) provided arms to Afghans resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the ISI assisted the process of gathering radical Muslims from around the world to fight against the Soviets
Taliban had open support from ISI... Recently Hillary Clinton statement that " Many Taliban supporters are still in ISI , which makes our operation difficult"
Bottom line is: The Afghani believe that the condition of their country is due to pakistan and USA, thats why they don like both of you... unfortunately they are your neighbors so they have to take refuse at your door..
