When we do a comparison with other countries, it's important to remember that not every country....
All of the listing processes are quite different. The United States doesn't have the Taliban listed in the same way that we do, so they can apply broader exemptions in a different way. I think your point is exactly right, though: There's no way to guarantee that money or resources going into Afghanistan are not going to the Taliban. In fact, I would say that the opposite is true. I can almost guarantee you that there is money and aid going to the Taliban, because that's how they operate. It's really about striking the balance between how much we think is appropriate and how much isn't, which is part of why I was talking about calibrating our foreign policy. Sometimes we might find that to be acceptable; other times we might not, depending on how the terrorist group is operating internationally.
If the Taliban starts having external attack capabilities and aspirations, we might want to turn the dial down on how much aid is going to that country.
