zeleza's always interesting. two points to quibble over. first, before the u.s. invaded afghanistan, it had assisted the taliban in their insurrection against russia. and with that, entered into an ambiguous relationship with pakistan which supported the pashtun/taliban militias. pakistan made support for the taliban possible, and gave them refuge.
second, zeleza appears wrong in implying a rapport between iran and the taliban. the former has been their opponents for years, and the two remain at odds especially as iran is shia and the taliban are anti-shia.
