They did ok? They could still be in power if they had
a modicum of a sense of their military capabilities in comparison to that of the USA. They were offered a chance and somehow came to the conclusion that fighting the US was better than extraditing Bin Laden.
Maybe they thought Allah would stop the US bombs.

Beating the Cincinnati Bengals does not mean that one "did ok".
Taleban is already gaining more popularity in Pakistan. And probably elsewhere. It's not dead
