You can't be that stupid.

By all accounts, the Taliban movement started in the province of Kandahar, Afghanistan under Mullah Omar. He operated a Madrassa in Singesar, Kandahar where he spoke against corruption and the practice of Bacha Bazi (Boy Play). The locals requested Omar to intervene in a case where a warlord had taken a child hostage to rape him. Omar is reported to have hung the warlord with the help of his students (Talibs) from the madrassa. Soon the Taliban uprising started. Nothing to do with Pakistan.
When US invaded Afghanistan, drugs and abuse of children returned to Afghanistan in a big way.
When did Osama bin Laden become a "local" in Afghanistan? He fought against the Soviets just like many others. Not all Mujahideens were locals either.

More ignorance.
The People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) came into power in a coup supported by Soviet Union and India who was a Soviet ally. Soviets installed several puppet regimes in Afghanistan and assassinated them one after another.
Nur Muhammad Taraki (1965-1979), Hafizullah Amin (1979) and Babrak Karmal (1979-1986) were all assassinated by Soviet Union. When Soviet Union left, Taliban didn't exist. It was Mujahideen groups that fought against each other with the weapons US had provided. Pakistan ended the civil war with the Peshawar Peace Accord in 1992.
Yet both US and Taliban were eager to cut oil deals behind the scenes. Strange enemies.

Many of the advance weapons these groups used came from US. Stinger being one of them.
There is no denying that US promoted these fringe ideologies during the cold war to fight its superpower arch rival Soviet Union.
In the twilight of the Cold War, the United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation.
The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books, though the radical movement scratched out human faces in keeping with its strict fundamentalist code.
