The only reason the Taliban has not come on stronger is that it no longer has foreign powers backing it. The Soviets faces an ememy backed by deep pockets. Without billions from the US, an open and friendly base in pakistan, and billions more from KSA the Soviets would have probably been able to keep the mujahadden quite. Heck, they did have a much bigger afghan army fighting with them anyways.

The situation in Afghanistan after 4 years is sad.
