slaps forehead Why didn't I think of that!

What's the alternative. In a terrorist camp somewhere:

"Guys! We can't Toyota's anymore. I guess terrorism is over! Pack it up and go home!"

Sheesh.

I don't think that's a simple proposition.

Some terrorism is because we murdered the terrorist's family, and we could just stop murdering families. I don't think this one is, though.

No, these guys we seem to have funded and supported. We even helped a former AQ leader become the president of Syria.

There are for sure gun manufacturers that would love to sell terrorists guns, can car manufacturers that would sell terrorists cars. The harder they are to obtain, the less success the terrorists will have in their objectives.

Do you really think we shouldn’t care, understand or look to shut down supply chains?
