that is true but realize this: to the Russians ... they were terrorists, and we sponsored them. Just as we view Iraq for supposedly doing the same to our enemy.
Actually to the Russians then they were still not terrorists. WE sponsored them but they had not become a terrorist organization. They were only defending Afghanistan from an invading army.
Today in Iraq I do not consider attacks against American soldiers as terrorist...it is part of a war. But when you launch rockets at hotels housing journalists, or blow up the UN and the Red Cross those are terrorist acts.
