 Explaining the reason why the West has not succeeded in Afghanistan , Amrullah emphasized the lack of effort towards creating an anti @-@ Taliban constituency . He wrote , " The anti @-@ Taliban constituency is not an ethnic alliance against the south , but rather a political umbrella for all Afghans who seek a pluralistic society and oppose the Talibanization of the society as part of a so @-@ called reconciliation deal . Perhaps 80 percent of Afghans oppose the Taliban . Such an umbrella will be Afghans ’ best representative in any talks with the Taliban , since Karzai and his High Peace Council lack credibility among Afghans who experienced the Taliban ’ s oppressive rule .
