Sure. Why not? They'd be subject to more regulation than they are now.

That article is not entirely true. From what I’ve been seeing the U.S. brokered a meeting between Turkmenistan’s and the Taliban to build TAPI. Or goal is the same as our NATO ally Turkey to ensure Iran, China and Russia are kept out of the rich energy resources found in asia’stan’ I think it’s also one reason why we resumed sanctions against Iran in order to keep them dirt poor and unable to influence regional politics of the TAPI pipeline.

HAQQANI NETWORK
The Taliban are made of several Pashtun tribes that have always fought for control. The Haqqani Network is now using this infighting. The Haqqani network, which has the backing of elements within the Pakistani security establishment, is one of Afghanistan’s most experienced and sophisticated insurgent organizations. Siraj Haqqani, the son of the famous anti-Soviet fighter Jalaluddin Haqqani, is the current leader of the Haqqani network. Siraj is more extreme than his father and maintains closer ties to al-Qaeda and other foreign extremists in Pakistan. Why Pakistan supports the Taliban

Taliban announce new rules for female students.
Afghan universities will be segregated by gender, and a new Islamic dress code will be introduced, the Taliban said on Sunday. Higher Education Minister Abdul Baqi Haqqani indicated women would be allowed to study, but not alongside men. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-58537081

The BBC has found that at least 20 civilians have been killed in Afghanistan's Panjshir Valley, which has seen fighting between the Taliban and opposition forces. Communications have been cut in the valley, making reporting difficult, but the BBC has evidence of Taliban killings despite promises of restraint.
Footage from a dusty roadside in Panjshir shows a man wearing military gear surrounded by Taliban fighters. Gunfire rings out and he slumps to the ground. It is not clear if the man killed was an army member - combat uniforms are common in the region. In the video a bystander insisted he was a civilian. The BBC has established there have been at least 20 such deaths in Panjshir. One of the victims was a shopkeeper and father-of-two called Abdul Sami. Local sources said the man would not flee when the Taliban advanced, telling them: "I'm just a poor shop owner and have nothing to do with war." But he was arrested, accused of selling sim cards to resistance fighters. Days later his body was dumped near his home. Witnesses who saw his body said it showed signs of torture. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-58545892

I'm beginning to think that we have actually been at war for 20 years with Pakistan and just fighting their proxy the Taliban.
Qatar and Pakistan are backing different factions of the Taliban were will this lead to? I didn't realize how much Pakistan feared Indian influence in Afghanistan. Strange how the USA during the Cold War under Pres. Nixon once supported Pakistan (backed by China) against India (backed by the Soviet Union). The Taliban, Pakistan & China: India braces for three-front threat Looks like there will be a battle for Kashmir
