The Taleban have considerable influenvce in todays afghansistan,mainly through brute force evidenced in the very recent November Kabul attacks which highlight the continued presence and instabilty in the state.
Culturally it is hard to say whether the Taliban truly reflect the views of the people ( personally i think conservatism does not mean extremism) but as it is a religious,patriachial and conservative society the Taliban may have more influence over the people than the NATO forces.
