Aghanistan

Whatever the merits of our own intervention there on behalf of the mujaheddin, it unmistakably ended up being a disastrous military intervention for the Soviet Union. I’d say the Afghan mujaheddin were freedom fighters in the sense that they didn’t want to be ruled by an outside imperial force governed by an anti-freedom ideology, even though they obviously weren’t themselves believers in freedom as we would understand it.
