Who created Taliban: Pakistan or USA?
70Taliban/Al Qaeda carried out 911... and I lost my favorite cousin.... the attack on American Homeland has shaken us ... Certain folks still hold some misconceptions...I'm publishing this now.... and for those who believe 911 was inside job... I'm skeptic... Bush can be anything.... but attacking own country impossible... this is an answer for folks like NazishNasim and Usmanali81 ... who carry this misconception:

"USA + USSR -> Talibans
Talibans infiltration into the world->9/11
9/11 -> War on Terrorism
WOT -> Suicide Bombers"

Popular Misconception....USA sent help to Mujahideen against USSR..... later those Mujahideen turned into Taliban.... sorry to burst the bubble... After USSR withdrew ... there was power vacuum in Afghanistan.... many groups staking claim... most famous Ahmed Shah Massoud (Lion of Panjshir)... but Al Qaeda master mind Osama Bin Laden got him killed... then home grown terrorists from Pakistani Madrasa schools took over and formed Taliban.... http://www.infoplease.com/spot/taliban.html
My high school friend whose parents came as Afghan refugees... Who hate Pakistan for there role in destroying Afghanistan.... gave me a brief background about Pakistan....There President Zia Ul Haq who was also Army General... deposed there PM took over power.... and Pakistan has a history of Military dictators.... and many expert folks gonna say that three A's control Pakistan... Allah(fundamentalists), Army(Pakistani) and America.... President Zia used Army/ISI.... and also used the madrasa schools to encourage fundamentalists to terrorism... and now Pakistan has to realize there are no "good" terrorists (who spread their ISI agenda of spreading terror in Afghanistan, Central Asia and India) and bad terrorists involving in terrorism in Pakistan..... which there Army with US financial aid is fighting now.... Terrorists never gonna be "good" but always gonna be bad.... Terrorists are terrorists period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Zia-ul-Haq
Taliban/Al Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan/Afghanistan... still going strong in all parts of the world.... http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18386 ... Pakistan created Taliban.

No US didn't create... US only helped Mujhadeen... Taliban product of homegrown Pakistani Madrasa.
So US did help Mujhadeen who turned out to be Taliban ..... whether we accept it or not but US did play a vital role in all these
The US did help the Mujahadeen as you say packerpack, by providing money and arms, but they certainly didn't create the mujahadeen, which formed as a native response to soviet invasion and was built from existing war lords. Afghanistan has been invaded so many times in history it is unlikely there has ever been a time when there were no freedom fighters in one form or another. When the soviet threat went away there were many fighters with no fight, and it is this combined with the aggressive promotion of Wahabism by the Saudi's, who have funded a great deal of extremist literature for foreign publication for many years (including in the US and the UK) which combined to create the Taliban. It's too easy to just blame America for what is actually a very complex web of causes and events.
I am no one to blame anyone for anything. Was just trying to state the fact. One cannot say that I just added water to the seed in the ground. If the seed grew and started bearing fruit, it is not my fault. Accomplice in the crime is considered equal to the criminal. That is what US did, to crush the presence of Russia in the region it gave arms to some criminal minded people (added water to seed .... with fertilizer).
I am not blaming US but the fact is a fact. We Indians are the biggest victims of this terrorism and it stands as big a problem for us as it is for any American but then as I said "fact is a fact"!
@PackerPack Dude this article was written to remove that misconception..... Taliban aren't the same "Mujhadeen" that USA supported against USA.
@Kephira Thanks :)
i think US Created Taliban and Pakistan where used to send these Taliban into Afghanistan for defeating USSR.
But the situation is different in Pakistan these Taliban are helped by some agencies such Indian Agency ,Israel agency and Russia agency.
these people are busing by killing innocent peoples.
