Rasheed often lashes out against one group of people or another. It largely depends on the specific situation or the person he happens to be talking to. For instance, in another one of his epic rants, Rasheed once accused Commander Massoud of being a Communist traitor. Yet later on, in front of Laila—whom he's trying to impress—he says that the CIA should've armed Massoud in the struggle against the Soviets instead of the Mujahideen.
It's clear from this episode and many others like them in the story that Rasheed is only interested in looking out for number one. He doesn't really believe in anything or anyone; all that matters are his own interests. As an opportunist supporter of the Taliban, Rasheed is inevitably hostile towards the United States, seeing them as imperialists who have no business being involved in Afghanistan.
