At the time I would support the mujahedins, USSR was our enemy and the enemy of our enemy are maybe not our friend, but it's usual a good thing supporting them.
With hindsight... well I had to think about it, but still the Muhahedins. I know we have some (very very stupid) people here loving USSR, and USSR in the late 70ties and 80ties was not the horrible monster of the Stalin period. But it was a still a enemy who wanted to overrun my country and was able to do it, even if they likely would have been defeated afterward. Was the Muhahedins worse people than the Soviets, are they our enemy today; yes to both. But USSR was a existential enemy, while the modern Islamic terrorist are little more than vermins, irritating but not really a threat toward us as a group.
