Dude, don't confuse Afghanistan and Iraq! Believe me! I've read enough articles to understand a bit what's going on in Afghanistan! It's a whole different war out there.
The Taliban (not all of them, but most of them), do not rely on public legitimacy. They don't care about the civil population. They only want to wage holly war! That's all they are good at!
Some of them have started to change since 2-3 years ago... They have started to mix with the populations, trying to build legitimacy. But they are a minority. Most Taliban groups are a bunch of foreign fundamentalist drug dealers (yeah drugs were prohibited before, but they make a fine living out of it now! Talk about following your own principles!) who slaughter each other whenever they get the chance to make an inside coup! They're just unemployed losers who only got one thing in their mind: killing!
That is why Obama said he is ready to talk to "some" Taliban groups, the one who "want to" make peace and try to live in peace and defend the locals' interests... Because some have evolved, while the others are real terrorists (the likes of Fatah al-Islam, but even worst)!
