i watched a few old rambo films recently. Imagine my suprise when during the closing credits of Rambo 3 the words"This film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afganistan"popped up on the screen!

Ah yes, but you see this goes back t the time when America actually supported, and armed, the very people who kick their arses today, thus demonstrating yet again that America has no dea what side it is on.
This is why Bush applies toilet roll to his mouth and speaks through his ar se.

Times have changed exactly in the way interests have changed. The freedom fighters the US were supporting (and I do remember those times) were exactly the Talibans. The Soviets wanted a secular state and, naturally, a good ally to the Soviet Union. The US were generally against the Soviets. Finally, with the help of the US, the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan, the freedom fighters proclaimed an Islamic state, kicked out the women from their jobs and imposed wearing burkas on them, destroyed the ancient Buddha statues, etc. I've never supported the Soviets, but this is the fact.
So much for noble principles in politics.

yup, that is totally correct, Osama and the Taliban were your Allies against those pesky Commies. You were the trainig and funding for them as they attempted to bring down the Soviets in Chechnya also as well as Libya, Egypt, and so on. Funny how Osama and the Taliban have never been directed at Israel, but always at Soviet or secular Muslim oil states. I would have expected Israel to be a major target for them if they really were about Muslim control of the middle east

Yes it has changed a lot.However you would think that as times change so would people. Unfortunately from some of the other comments given, there will always be ignorance. How sad

That's why films should never be dedicated to anyone except the dead. It sounds so corny otherwise and in this case...two faced.

The film was obviously part funded by the Taliban.
