Fear can make people dump as sheep, but might it be possible, that they actually did not know it? And maybe rather saw stupid movies where a person gets dragged inside while flying?

"I hope the Taliban might be a little more moderate this time"

Very likely, they want to stabilize their power - for this they need international acception: they already got it from russia and china.

And I can already read on many places in western news, like how the taliban already improved, so you could make buisness with them. And I mean: in fundamental principles, are they actually much worse, than for example Saudi Arabia still is? I assume they will try to show "soft islamism" is possible and continue to fight more radical IS and co.
