in fact, the US supported all mujaheddin groups there, including Taliban. After the pull out of the USSR, these groups started fighting among themselves and Pakistan became the patron of Taliban. The fault of the US was that it remained indifferent at that time.

Judaism: Baba Mezia 114a-114b: "Non-Jews are not human. Only Jews are human" I can't find any for Islam or Christianity but i know they exist.
Even so i agree with you saying that they could have done more.
