#1. Don't chastise the term 'Riyasat-e-Madina' for your own entertainment. You've been warned.such an enlightening analysis from someone with vast experience of handling Afghanistan ..
by the the way, who was the last power to control whole of Afghanistan ? as per my limited knowledge the British failed, the USSR failed to control whole of Afghanistan and now the current superpower also failed. But as per you, Taliban will be different in controlling the whole country, as they must have some special recipe which none of the former super powers had .. right ?
for a second, if i have to assume hypothetically that Taliban this time are the ultra modern socialist who will establish " Riyasat-e-Madina" after their takeover, even then, there will still be lot of Afghans who will be unhappy as they might have lost power, control and hate the talibs.. Thats how Afghans are and You would know more than me as you have a decade of experience.. that is the resistance.. anyone who hates the taliban and willing to kill..
If US with all its military superiority could not destroy taliban, then what are the chances of Taliban destroying any remnants of the current authorities completely?
Taliban is a good guerilla force and there is no doubt about it.. but fighting a guerilla war and governing a country is two different thing..
After Taliban takes control of Kabul, the roles will reverse between them and current government .. it will be the talibans who will be trapped in the cities trying to control an uncontrollable country ..

Now, coming back to the topic...
You inquired who was last power to control the whole of Afghanistan. Why are you even mentioning Foreign Invasion by UK or The Soviets?
I think it's pretty obvious how the candidates have been chosen these past couple of decades.
Who was running Afghanistan prior to the US invasion in late 2001?
I don't recall any major resistance back in the days. From 1996 to 2001 it was pretty much the Taliban, unless you know something we aren't aware of.
As for the 'Special Recipe' you spoke of... Seems to me with Taliban already have everything under control or you wouldn't have Army Chopper Pilots defecting to the US. Military personnel taking refuge in neighboring countries.
Hope all of your people stay put there for the transition & not pack C-17 Globemadter III's with Civilians on a 1-way trips back to India.
