It's why Pakistan also supported the American occupation despite their population very much being against it.

The Taliban are militant extremists even by the standards of a state that incorporates literal Sharia law, with a theocratic court than can declare any law void for conflicting with Islamic law.

Of course, Pakistan supporting the occupation is also why the modern Taliban has beef with them so... War, change, not doing that, etc.
