And keep in mind, the Taliban is not considered the legitimate regime of Afghanistan. Only 3 nations recognized the Taliban as the government of Afghanistan. World and especially local nations do want them removed. Iran certainly hasn't been intimidated by the US in the past and even they agree. The world doesn't want the Taliban out just because of US desires. This whole situation isn't as simple as the US making everyone do everything we want.

The UN may be ineffective, but it's the best we have, and so we should use it. Scraping it and starting over is a bit extreme.
