Also for anyone curious about where I got my numbers from: I couldn't find any hard estimates for the amount of deaths the Taliban caused, so basically, go to Wikipedia and also look up some of the various atrocities they committed that the wikipedia article doesn't really get into. The counts for the deaths are around 50k, and the stuff about the indirect deaths are fairly easy to take a swing at from the wikipedia article.
Plus consider that the Taliban wasn't exactly letting reporters have free reign around the country and there's a bunch of shit they likely did not feel the need to really talk about... Hell, they aren't even known for giving accurate estimates of the amount of their insurgents that get killed in firefights. "one was killed, three were wounded" type shit. Several of the engagements my brother's been in, they've downplayed their casualties constantly, according to him, and I'm sure anyone else who has served in Afghanistan and been in firefights can attest to that as well.
