An example of "Militant Islam" in 1979/1980. The Grand Mosque Seizure was a terrorist act committed in 1979. Since I have found an example of "Militant Islam" in 1979, your claim is totally wrong: "In 1979/1980 their wasn't a militant islam" is false.
Anyway, the United States has propped up many dictators and has sought to overthrow lots popular governments, so I think it's rather hypocritical to say the Soviets were only evil ones. 1973 in Chile, United Stats overthrew the democratically elected government of Chile in a coup and in 1971 they supported Pakistan as they committed genocide in Bangladesh (that was Henry Kissinger). You think the Hindus liked being slaughtered?
