Iran doesn't support the Taliban. The Taliban rejects the Iranian form of Islam, and there is much hostility between the two, to the point where Iran almost invaded Afghanistan themselves, after the Taliban attacked the Iranian embassy in Afghanistan, killing the embassy staff. However, pressure from the international community caused Iran to call off the invasion. Additionally, the Iranian government actually provided intelligence about the Taliban to coalition forces during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.

Why did people welcome the Taliban?
The question as written is nebulous and difficult to answer because "people" does not give a specific regional grouping, religious grouping, or time period. Note, that not all of the reasons below represent statistical facts, but are based on people's perceptions of what occurs. Typically, when the Taliban has been well-received, it is for the following reasons:1) Order and Control: Afghanistan is one of the most difficult to control regions in the world with arid deserts, high mountains, many rural areas, and limited infrastructure. This makes it very similar to the American concept of the Wild West, but even more difficult to manage. The Taliban are similar (in a way) to cowboys in that they dispense rough justice wherever they see a problem. As opposed to Western Law, which is seen as slow and ineffective, the "shoot and ask questions later method" actually helps to lower crime.2) Anti-Western Sentiment: Since the American Invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban have become the poster-boy for the "We hate America" movement the world over. (Note: For most people who see themselves as part of this group, the American Government and Foreign Policy is at fault, not the American People.) As a result, when the Taliban are able to retake a region or arrive in a region, for many, it is synonymous with liberation from American Imperialism.3) Indigenous Powers: The Taliban were overthrown by a Coalition of Warlords and Tribal Leaders called the Northern Alliance with American Assistance. Many of these warlords are barely better to the Afghan people than were the Taliban and can only maintain power with a strong American military presence. This makes them look like puppets of the American government as opposed to an independent sovereign power. The Taliban, however, represent an indigenous group of Afghans who ruled the country for nearly 10 years in spite of foreign interference from Iran.4) Islamic Law: Many Moslems in Afghanistan are deeply conservative and would not wish for a country like the United States where religion and state are separate. Islam, for them, should be a constituent part of the State apparatus and the Taliban made a commitment to that whereas Hamid Karzai and the Northern Alliance Government have not made a religious commitment. (Note: There is are a vast number of Afghans who are not interested in a state as religious as the one put forward by the Taliban, but those who do still make up a large segment of the population.)
What happened when Afghanistan fought the Soviet Union?
The fighting between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union lead to many deaths, fleeing, starvation, and homeless. The Soviet Union did invade Afghanistan, and put in a "puppet leader." There was a total of 1,000,000 dead Afghanistan, and the USA funded the guerrilla warfare of the Afghanis. After the great victory over the savage Soviets, the country in ruins was mostly just abandoned to more misery. A ripe environment for the Taleban's (EXTREME ISLAMIC GROUP) taking over and controlled many of the towns with Islamic militant law, and woman's rights were stripped from them. The Taliban had a simple strategy for taking over an area - kill everyone who doesn't flee. The Taleban areas became hiding and training grounds for the AL QAEDA terrorist groups. The USA helped Hamid Karzai (current president) get into power. Opium is being sold in Afghanistan, which is a big problem. Isn't horrible what has happened to Afghanistan all because of the fighting against the Soviet Union. Stop the fighting!
Where can you find letters written by the founding fathers about the difficulties experienced while writing the Declaration of Independence especially personality conflicts ethical dilemmas etc?
Passed down through generations, our family has letters describing some of the turmoil that went on in the time frame around the Declaration of Independence. We have never released the letters or content to the public. What will you use the information for? I am replying to the question raised by Burgess Snowden. I am preparing a short performance for the nationally-televised Liberty Medal Ceremony for the city of Philadelphia which takes placed on July 4. This year's recipient is Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan. My idea for this year's ceremony was to have a reading, by actors, of short excerpts from letters written during the time when the Declaration of Independence was being ratified.
