The Taliban were trying to win Afghanistan's seat in the United Nations If it hadn't been for us, they probably would have gotten it.

Us being the retaliation for 9/11. If they hadn't attacked, the USG may have enabled them to that stronger status.
Generally speaking the Taleban was populist and there were differences between the moderate and radical wings of the movement. (Is the Taleban a group, party or movement?) I find it fascinating the connections between the moderate Taleban wing and the US and had issued warning of 9/11 and called for a "mountain storm" to clear out AQ. Years later we launched that very Operation Mountain Storm!

Of course when I wrote populist, I never took the account of the women and girls under the yoke of Wahabi oppression.
