We also supported Stalin, who was worse than hitler imo.
The afghans were armed to keep russia out. Should we have let russia take them over and spread comunism?

No. My point was not that Reagan and Bush were wrong at the time for supporting who they did. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of people who blame Clinton for not being able to somehow divine the future with Al Qaeda but aren't willing to apply the same standards to Republicans.
As for Stalin, he was 10x worse than Hitler judging by the body count, but Stalin did not harbor the 3rd Reich type fantasies of 1000 year world domination that Hitler did.
