With Al-qaeda, I will stick to my position that we need to cut off the money and they are done for...


As long as they are funded, we will never be rid of them...

I wonder if the Brits ever thought about that in the last 30 or so years that they have been in Northern Ireland? Cut off the money! I am sure that a few MI5 guys and the British public imagined a cigar chomping Irish American industrialist was behind the whole financing of the IRA. In reality- there were myriad front groups, associations, clubs, charity "fund raisers", and dozens of other methods to get money from Irish Americans and Republic of Ireland citizens to fund the military wing of the IRA. Heck- when I was going to Boston College there was (is) a bar called Kinvara that used to have a huge Jar on the bar labeled NOIRAID (Northern Ireland Aid) and people would drop money into it. Everyone knew it was a front for the IRA (I never gave any money by the way)

What I am trying to say is that cutting off the money is nearly impossible when most of it comes from small donors. Now times the money given to the IRA by about 200 and that is what you have with middle eastern terrorist organizations.

I think that position is better suited concerning the Democrat Party which really is funded by only a handful of evil bigwigs. That is doable.
