Why do you suppose Iran is supporting both President Karzai and Taliban?

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.

How long does the war in Afghanistan now last?

i think 2012-2013 U.S and allies will leaves afganistan, same as the soviets did at 1989 when they leave, for sure they will set up a pro US-western government and leave plenty of weapons to U.S trained new afghan army and security forces to battle with taliban if taliban chooses to fight instead of a deal with a new afghan government. Most likely a power sharing deal to run the country with taliban comes, otherwise another 2-4 years of war follows beetween afghan government and taliban forces and we will return back the situation during the 2001. Some part controlled by taliban (central and south) and some part controlled by anti-taliban forces (northern afganistan)
