Allegiances shift over time. I like to remind people of The Living Daylights (1987), in which James Bond helps a bunch of Islamic fundamentalists blow up a plane.

(it's a Soviet plane running drugs, so it's OK, and the Mujahedein involved are run by a chap who went to Oxford, and are fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, so that's OK too)



Rambo 3 also comes to mind where he aids the Taliban. The end scene even has a commemoration to the brave freedom fighting Taliban.
