Actually, America was the first one in and that's what caused the problem. Carter was so focused on beating the Russians, that he ignored what groups the funds he was sending there impowered. America put the Taliban in power by giving them the money and guns to fight the Russians, then completly forgot about the region after the Russians left. Just like we put Sadam in power, and Castro, and..... Maybe America should stop trying to put people in power in an attempt to stabalize regions(ie, financial benefit to America), because it seems to always come back to smack us in the face. As to the whole Obama/Muslim issue, even though America has only 5 million Muslims living here he said the "America is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world" just before his trip to Egypt. Talk about ignorance of a topic. This whole thing is nothing but political pandering that's just going to make him an easy target for Bin Ladin.
