Of course where your whole theory falls apart is in assuming that Taliban=mujahadeen. They don't. Actually, the Northern Alliance and Pashtun are the Afghan representatives of the surviving Mujahadeen. The Taliban leaders are more Arabs and Pakistanis than Afghans.
I find fault with this statement...Although the members of the current northern alliance were certainly members of the muj. fighting the russians, members of al quida and like muslim extremest fighting groups were certainly part of the muj. fightring the russians as well. The stories you hear about how, "the united states armed and trained OBL to fight the russians" well, part of that is true...we had a common enemy, the soviets; for us it was b/c they were communist, for them it was b/c they had invaded their country. the muslim world as a whole saw the soviets as an enemy, and thus fundamentalists from all over the middle east went to afghanistan to fight the soviets; much like fundamentalists from all over the middle east have been recruited by al quida; the leaders of which were the same men who faught the soviets during the soviet/afghan wars of the late 80's.....but you were right on nearly all points; i just wanted to clarify [;)]
