Butch,
I understand perfectly the domestic political forces at play, but the inaction of the US government was shameful, whilst their citizens were funding terrorists who were blowing up such military targets as a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Warrington, killing a 4 year old boy. Similarly today, there are many private citizens in the Middle East who make payments to Al Qaida. The US goverment is significantly less sanguine about those payments and seeks to freeze the assets of any bank that processes them.
