The majority of the people living under the rule of the Taiban did not oppose the overthrow, the majority of the people NOT living under the rule of the Taliban opposed the overthrow.

The question is whether they opposed it on religious grounds "fight the invaders", because they supported terrorism, or whether they opposed the idea of America and other western powers conducting what they (and some of us) see as nation building by the US, and in accordance to western needs.

I will take their unwillingness to oppose terrorists and terrorist states as support of same. Ambiguity on the question is out of the question.

IMO, it boils down to the fact that the Western rebuilding of Afghanistan is a particularly painful display of the contrast between our successful civilization and their failed one.
