Wrong.

After soviet forces invaded Afghanistan on December 25, 1979, Afghan people picked up arms against the Soviets and their own government which had invited Soviets to help it stay in power.

US saw an opportunity and started helping Afghan people along with many other western and middle eastern countries including Pakistan (which was directly affected by influx of 3 million Afghan refugees and attacks by Afghan/Soviet jets, bomb blasts in all parts of Pakistan, etc.) by arming them to fight Soviets. The fighter became known as "Mujahideen".

After soviet withdrawal in 1987/89, Northern alliance war lords started looting, plundering and raping Pushtoons. In one particular instance they raped the daughter of a school teacher, and his students (Taliban in their language) picked up arms to take revenge for their teacher and then rapidly grew into a popular and massive force to counter NA warlords. Pakistan had ZERO role in their establishment.

Please get your facts right before blaming anyone

All I will say is it is correct that the Mujahideen were active before PA jumped into the fray. However you cannot absolve yourself of the responsibility when you have trained and armed them yourselves and formed them into effective units. However going by that logic a lot of "the chaste and pure" will have their dirty linen washed out in public and that is undesirable to those who tell us to "do more".
Now back to the topic please.

Hi,

Indeed pakistan had zero role in establishing the Taliban---other than Benzair claiming to be the 'mother of Taliban'.

There is a difference in "Supporting" and "Establishing"
We might have supported them for our interest and there is nothing wrong with that and we don't need to be apologetic about that. US has been the mother of more than half of the worlds terrorist organizations of all times.
