2.Taliban: Islam, Oil and the New Great Game in Central Asia , Ahmed Rashid, I.B Tauris, 2000
3. Reaping the Whirlwind: The Taliban Movement in Afghanistan , Michael Griffin, Pluto Press, 2001
These books contain the complete answers of your childish questions, that how US created Taliban in 1980s, financed them, provided them weapons and money and why Pakistan and US were supporting them.
Purpose of this thread was to analyze that what Pakistan lost due to Taliban. Not do discuss Indian or US support of Taliban.The real purpose of the thread was to make realize the people of Pakistan, that Talibans are not Muslims, they are killers just like US and Indians in Kashmir. You better read these books, which contain the authentic material.Their are also written a lot of things against Pakistan in these books, but I have to admit them,why, because they are “true”. Gentlemen try to face the realities.And If you think articles are proof, then here is just a very small proof.

Click these links to read the realities. These writers are not muslims like me. But they are also not idiots like you, who try to run away from the reality.
I hope this will shut your mouths and from now on, you will post material only related to thread.
There is no question of the intension of Soviet and US. But didn’t Pakistan play along hoping to gain strategically on India? Without active help from Pakistan nothing would have happened. The point is obsession with India lead Pakistan into one blind alley after another. Even today, there is no humility in Pakistan’s approach. Listen to Mush talk in CNN.
BTW, Ahmed Rashid was a former armed fighter (i.e. terrorist). It’s easy make money writing about controversies and conspiracies.
