Why did the us aid the taliban in the 1980s?

Some of the Afghan rebels whom the U.S. aided in the 1980s did have a similar Islamist mentality and some would go on to be supporters of the Taliban, but it's not technically accurate to call them the Taliban. In the 1980s, the Soviet Union was fighting a war to prop up a communist regime in Afghanistan. As per the framework of the Cold War, the U.S. aided anti-Soviet rebels in order to stop the spread of communism.
