>they [terrorists] are tricking us into burning money chasing them around the world

The terrorists are not the ones gaining financially and they are not the ones tricking us.

I didn't mean to say that terrorists are gaining financially or that the "burn[t] money" goes to them. I'd be surprised if that's a real goal.

My point was that regardless of where the money ends up, if it's misappropriated then it's a waste.

I understood your point, and don't disagree.

Terrorism is overblown as an excuse to spend the money in ways to benefit certain industries.
