As you must know, the US called the groups of people fighting the Russian occupation of Afghanistan Mujahadin "freedom fighter's". These same people fighting US occupation under different names are now called "terrorists". Shakespeare said "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"...yada, yada, yada.

They arent the same people at all. The Taliban came to Afghanistan in the 90s. The mujahadin fought Russians in the 80s. In both cases we have been on the side of Afghanis fighting off first the russians, second the taliban in the 90s, and now the taliban in the 00s (plus alqeada).
