CB,
Kyrosi is right. The Taliban takeover initially as i remember it, was viewed as favorable by some US policy makers. It provided a cordon sanitaire around iran. In their defense few here knew at the time how obscene Taliban rule would become internally. Again, short term considerations trumped long term interests in the pre-9/11 world as we continued to use cold war policys in the post cold war period. Hopefully this type of thinking has changed now. mike
