Probably Afghanistan at the time, but neither with hindsight.
You would support the Afghan government but not the USSR?

This. People forget there was no Soviet "invasion". They intervened to defend the Afghan Communist government from armed reactionaries.

I also hate this notion that the Mujaheddin were anything other then Islamists who were hell bent on turning Afghanistan into a backwards hellhole. They launched a rebellion against the notion of women's rights and land reform. They were no better then the French counter-revolutionaries, the White Russians, or the Confederate rebels of the American Civil War. If anything they were actually worse.

Soviet Communism was more evil than any other ideology except Nazism
