Pretty much a reflection of how it began for the U.S. anyway. We supplied the arms to the Taliban to resist the Soviet invasion. Hell, Bin Laden was trained by the CIA.

Rambo 4 - Rambo Vs Bin Laden.
Which would be ironic, because Rambo 3 has John Rambo fighting with the Taliban against the soviet invasion of Afganistan. Oh the irony!

I love Rambo 3 for exactly that reason - it highlights America's dualism in international matters while at the same time higlighting Hollywood's habit of jumping on the bandwagon and making stupid patriotic films that double as propaganda - in this case it highlighted how evil the commies were and how America helped the poor and needy afghanistan rebels in their hour of need. Plus it has that great scene where Rambo and the colonel are facing the entire Russian army:
The colonel, looking at the vast army before them, turns to John Rambo - 'what d'ya say john?'
Rambo - 'fuck 'em'
With that Rambo starts firing his machine gun.
Classic.
