that may be true, but the unfortunate truth is that the Americans found plenty of Sunni's ready to fight the Taliban and they weren't all ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks etc. It is reasonable to assume that 'quick adherence' had something to do with it brother as well as tribalism.

actually there is no evidence for that. there were people (who fought in afghan jihad) who were ousted from power when taliban took control, it could be them as well. the only thing we can say with hard evidence is that their approach towards social reforms didnt win them any supporters among secular muslims and non-muslims (not to mention sects and political parties grinding their own axe).

khair the main point to discuss is how much leeway can a state or govt give to the people before implementing actual shariah?
