Thank you,

Most Afghans do not like the Taliban, they are not the biggest fans of the Northern Alliance either. In a country in the midst of a civil war they have their choice of war lords.

As for the Al Qaeda argument. It rings kind of hollow. The people that attacked us were mainly trained in the United States not in Afghanistan. They were 19 guys with box cutters who took advantage of the fact that no one thought to take an airliner and use it as a missile before. All of their flight training was done in the US. None of them were from Afghanistan. It might have been planned in Afghanistan but most of the operation was conducted in Europe and the United States. 8 years later, we aren't even sure how many Al Qaeda agents were actually in Afghanistan.
