Parallel Local Government in Afghanistan

There was an interesting article in the Guardian today about the Taliban reasserting themselves throughout several parts of Afghanistan as a more efficient alternative to the seemingly useless formal governing bodies. The article focuses on the delays and corruption within the judicial system at the local level as well as the ineffectual security forces provided by President Karzai's government, both of which the Taliban have supplanted in many regions (court judges by religious scholars and security forces with fundamentalist youth).
We have seen this before. When Israel went into Lebanon, the Red Cross was unable to provide many people with any form of aid whereas Hezbollah was already there, helping hundreds of thousands of people cope with the travails of living in a war zone. In the case of Hezbollah, coming to the aid of the people strengthened its position in the minds of the Lebanese; where the traditional lines of support failed (the Lebanese government, the Red Cross, general forms of foreign aid), the Hezbollah provided.
In much the same way, Taliban will likely win over the Afghani populace. While the Guardian writes negatively of the misogynistic policies/practices of the Taliban, even the article does not provide much evidence that Afghanistan's population has any of the same compunctions; they see an alternative administration that is far more efficient in providing much-needed services such as adjudication and protection.
In terms of efficiency, clearly the Taliban wins over the Karzai administration. It also seems that they possess a significant edge over Karzai's government when it comes to corruption (from all sources, it seems the Karzai government is extremely corrupt). So, it comes down to whether Afghans recognize the Taliban as a fundamentalist military government or simply as a reasonably efficient government. If it is the latter, the last 6 years of NATO time, money, and life will have been for naught.
