Supporting the Afghan militias does not equal supporting the Taliban. Remember, the Taliban are first and foremost a Pashtun nationalist organization, and weren't even formally created until 5 years after the Soviet withdrawal. I would support the (slightly more) moderate factions within the mujahedeen, such as the Tajik forces led by Ahmad Shah Massoud, followed up with massive and unprecedented foreign aid in the aftermath of the war to rebuild the economy.
