"The Taliban started out as a student movement (thus the name which translates literally to "students") comprised partially of Pashtuns (some from Afghanistan but primarily western Pakistan) but includes people from other countries in the ME and even Sudan and other African countries."

Right. Although it is hard to differentiate between the Afghani and Pakistani Pashtuns. That part of the world is still mainly tribal and pesky thing like borders don't mean a whole lot.

Regardless, the majority of the Taliban are Afghanis at this point and saying that attacking the Taliban is not the same as attacking Afghanis isn't anywhere near correct.
