A reasonable question, PNG/K...
Not a foreign policy wank, but from my POV it seems the 'dictator run' hot beds seem to keep the Taliban/zealots sort of under the thumb, for awhile. Though I suspect there is a large portion of quid pro quo between dictatorial regimes and the blatant bad guys, in most of the tipping point countries and governments.
Then when a 'dictator' gets toppled, 'the chaos', which was both partially responsible for that overthrow, and the ensuing post takeover, provides a frog pond full of bacteria to seep into the 'new gov't', imo.
The media and the bullshitting policy wonks pound their chests about 'Arab Spring', new 'democracies' and all that related 7th grade civic class bs, but the frog pond quickly evolves into the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Bam! ...that 'new gov't' is riddled with the Taliban, et al, the zealots, and the whole joint is polarized beyond comprehension, at least incomprehensible by most of us in the 'western civilisations'.
I can't think of any/many countries that have had a serious 'regime change' that are really 'better/friendlier to US/less of a smoldering toxic fire', or that Lagoon situ.
For the under 50 set out their in HappyLand, USA this is not going 'away', gonna get better, or resolve itself anytime soon, imo. Unfortunately...
