Its true that US army created the Taliban, but it quickly brings the "the road not taken" fantasy that is only that, a fantasy, as in people imagine the middle east would be peas and roses if only America had not helped create the Taliban, and thats probably far from reality. I don't think it would have been take long for any other faction to use commercial Airlines to attack infrastructure, it was a very attractive attack vector for any enemy faction, specially given the lack of security (this days one hijacked plane wouldn't last long mid air).
