The Taliban did jack shit but piss off the Americans. And not even remotely similar in the manner in which Carthage pissed off Rome. Carthage fucking marched onto Roman soil after defeating several Roman armies.
Where were the great hordes of Taliban on our soil?

You are smack in the middle of the Second Punic War and I in the Third. Generations apart. Rome grew mighty in between those wars and Carthage declined.
Only one lesson. Don't fight when you are severely overmatched and don't read too much into the results of wars from generations ago.
