Not so long ago, when Moslems were fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, they were heroes to the western world, supplied arms and money enough to destabilise the whole region. Once the Soviet menace faded, the same fighters were branded terrorists. Mixed signals like this are responsible for much of the animosity that one finds in the Islamic world (possibly even in other parts of the world) against the US.
