Bigga, the Taliban didn't exist in the 1970s.
They were formed in 1994 during the Afghan Civil War that followed the Soviet retreat.
Sorry you're quite right and it's been a long day as I've been up since 4am yesterday!, Yeah, al-Qa'ida were trained against the Russians and the Taliban were propped up by the US. Either way, it makes little difference as the US has, basically, stuck its nose into affairs it didn't need to!
I'm getting some shut eye now!
