> the Afghanistan war gave control back to the Taliban

I'm very confused. Who was in control before?

[jandrese → triceratops]

The provisional government that was hopelessly corrupt and incompetent, although it is arguable that they were ever in charge in any practical sense. That government was a good example of how not to do nation building.

Right but that government got put in charge after the US-led invasion and war. Before the war the Taliban was already in power.
