The Taliban only invaded because Al Qaeda was based in Afghanistan. In fact, the Taliban never wanted war with the U.S., but Al Qaeda did, so they provoked us into invading with 9/11. So when we invaded, the Taliban had no choice but to fight us. In order to get the upper hand, we allied with the Northern Alliance (they're the current govt. in Afghanistan. Then the Taliban made themselves disappear for a few years (don't ask me how) and now they fight so they can gain control of Afghanistan.

Why did America go to war in Afghanistan after helping put the Taliban into power during the Russia-Afghanistan war?

The Americans exploited the concept of Jihad in Islam to fight the soviets and push them out of Afghanistan, However, when the Mujahedeen ( The Islamic holy fighters) won the war and started to rule, their policy did suit the Americans. For example, Taliban ( the term used now for the Mujahdeen) are sympathatic with Arabs due to Islamic ties with them. This support included anti-Israeli position and call for the Palestinan cause. Such policy made the Americans move against Taliban and declared war against them specially after what happened in 9-11 and the support Osama Bin Laden by the Taliban. The Mujahadeen.
