Sure, the enforcement agencies are doing their job in tracking the flow of money and trying to arrest people involved in financing terrorism. Where is the effort to fix the root causes of terrorism.

Are they too deeply embedded in our economic, political and cultural systems, and ways of dealing with other nations?
