Whoa, wait a second. All radical Islamic groups are not the same. The Taliban did not necessarily want to spread Islamic law to the US. They wanted to have their own special brand of Islamic law rule Afghanistan (and now Pakistan).
In fact, the Taliban were fairly recently very pro-America. Sure, they don't like modern things and are partial to a particularly serious brand of Islamic law, but until we started bombing them under Clinton, they had nothing but nice things to say. We helped them drive out the Soviets.
