A vast proportion of our enemies' funding comes from the illegal drug trade. Moroccan hashsish generates an estimated $3,000,000,000 per year, you can buy a hell of a lot of semtex with that sort of money, and that's the conservative estimate.
Same story in afghanistan where an estimated 3,600 tonnes of opium was cultivated last year, worth an estimated $2,300,000,000.
What we can do is stop buying illegal drugs, and encourage others to do the same.
