#3 After all, the Taliban are a product of Afghan culture. So if it wasn't them it was people in that country who are at least sympathetic with Taliban goals and methods. Kinda makes nation building in Afghanistan look like a dubious proposition unless you're willing to spend a hundred or so years there ruthlessly stamping out that superstition of theirs.
