Well, it's a shame. But the Stingers were supplied to the Mujahedeen in hopes they could defend their homeland from Soviet invasion. I'm sure OBL has a bunch of them by now. It would have required quite a crystal ball to forsee those turns of events over that timespan.

But this NVG was given to Iran by the UN three years ago...just as the stink was rising about the Russians supplying the same kind of military tech to Saddam. That's not not the same thing at all; on that timesacle this outcome is a lot more obvious.
