The Taliban wiuld never have gained eniugh support to take control of almost the entire country if the warlordw had not engaged in a civil war which tired out an already tired population. The Taliban was, as I'm sure you know, founded as a protest movement to the behaviour of the warlords. It started as a few men who executed a man who had raped one or two local girls(can't remember); it's tremendously fast growth would never have occured if most of the population did not hate the warlords.
