After eight long years of war in Afghanistan, America and its allies can ill 
afford not to understand who the enemy is and why they fight. To put 
together this remarkable oral history, told through the words of the Taliban 
themselves, NEWSWEEK turned to contributing correspondent Sami Yousafzai, 
who has been covering the conflict for the magazine since 2001. Over that 
time he has developed and maintained contact with dozens of Afghan 
insurgents, including the six whose stories are told here.

The last and later pages shows clear signs these Taliban are committed to 
their fight, and there's some clear thoughts on how the Taliban become 
resurgent after being almost obliterated and turned against by many in the 
Afghan population ...

<quotes>

The Afghan Taliban were weak and disorganized. But slowly the situation 
began to change. American operations that harassed villagers, bombings that 
killed civilians, and Karzai's corrupt police and officials were alienating 
villagers and turning them in our favor. Soon we didn't have to hide so much 
on our raids. We came openly. When they saw us, villagers started preparing 
green tea and food for us. The tables were turning.

The Americans and their Afghan allies made mistakes after mistake, killing 
and arresting innocent people.

In 2005 some Afghans thought Karzai would bring positive change. But now 
most Afghans believe the Taliban are the future. The resistance is getting 
stronger day by day.
