The Taliban gave the Russians hell and finally ran them out.

Actually, Russia had the Taliban almost beaten, when we stepped in and armed them and trained them on how to beat the Russians.

All this is garbage. The Taliban didn't arise until AFTER the Russians left!!!
The people who gave the Russians hell are now in the Northern Alliance.

They did exist, just under a different name, the mujahidin.

About half went to the Taliban and half to the North.
