If 'real history' is brought to bear, the group represented by Kamran Shah might, in time, have become the Taliban: this hypothetical switch from freedom fighters (Bond's allies) to enemies would be a more pointed change than any other ideological realignments implied, for Bond, by historical developments.
That's true and a very good point, but for me, I'm still able to suspend my disbelief. And in this case, there's no disbelief!
