There is a fundamental difference between Syyid Ahmand's army and Taliban. Taliban was artificially created to fight with Russians. Billions of dollars pumped in to this war with stimulating and exploiting the religion. The creaters are more responsible for this sad situation than Taliban. It is like creating a devil and then destroy it along with other local innocent population who are basically poor Muslims.
I don't know what was the motivating force for Sayyid Ahmad to build this army and use against his own people. It does not make any sense.
