Considering that the Mujahideen were overthrown by the Taliban in the mid-90s and the remnants spent the next half-decade or so fighting the Taliban as the Northern Alliance, I don't see why Thatcher isn't having a broken clock moment here. Unless, of course, you're some kind of cretin who sympathizes with the Soviets performing systemic genocide and war rape on Afghanistan.
