That usually ends up badly, yeah.
I remember when the Soviets were in Afghanistan and the US TV news was showing glowing footage of "heroic afghan freedom fighters" and Reagan was calling them the George Washingtons of their nation, or something close to that. We were funneling them tons of weapons. So they beat back the USSR, morph into radical war-chiefs, and become the new problem. Neato.
