Well, can't you see why Carter would try to arm local groups that would try to fight the Russians?

He couldn't send in American troops to fight the Russians.

That those local troops and others would eventually become terrorists wasn't considered a possibility at the time.

Once they were armed and trained they decided to do their own thing.

They set up their own shop in Afghanistan.
