Ah, yes, the good ol' American dream of sticking like glue to your principles as long as you don't have to change your lifestyle. You're right that driving your car doesn't fund terrorism, but refilling it with gasoline certainly does. That gas you are buying is refined from crude oil by some large oil company. That company got some of its crude oil from the US, but more than half of it was purchased from Middle-Eastern states, and some of those states use the money to fund terrorism. Sure, it would be nice if the big oil companies only dealt with "good" countries, but that isn't the case. Yes, it is currently fashionable to link anything you don't like with "terrorism", and that bullshit really is tiresome. But that doesn't mean that there aren't some things which really do have a connection to terrorism.
