The Taliban most assuredly did '''not''' "emerge from" the ''mujaheddin'', despite what the cited source, commondreams.org (which bills itself as "breaking news and views for the progressive [read ''liberal''] community"), says.  Even [CNN http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9610/05/taleban/] can get it right—the Taliban arose in opposition to the muj.  At ''most,'' some of the muj may have defected to the Taliban.  The idea that US aid to the muj "in the 80s" (to use commondreams.org's phrase) led to 9/11 is simply a liberal myth.
