You need to polish your history knowledge. Either you are truly naïve or have an axe to grind against Pakistan, particularly her military. Taliban were not only supported by Pakistan but also by Saudi Arabia and even USA. All the stake holders in Afghanistan were fed up with Afghan civil war and when Taliban took over, the peace brought by Taliban was welcomed by all the stake holders. The mistake Taliban made was, they refused to give fair share of power to Northern Alliance (happened to constitute more than 50% of Afghan population) that agitated Russia, Iran, and India. Secondly, they refused to take US dictation and angered Pakistan by not agreeing to settle Durand's line issue. Refusal to handover OBL to US was the last nail in Taliban Government's coffin.Afghan Mujahideen fighting the Soviets were supported by the US. After the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan and collapse of Soviet Union US lost interest. The Talibans came much later on and were supported by Pakistan.
