However, Jakko, the concern is that with such large profits being made from the drug trade, that the object is not simply to fill the coffers of FARC, but to fill the pockets of corrupt members.

Now, you have already stated that the problem here would be corruption, not the trade in itself, however, if those profits were not there to be made, then the means to corrupt the individuals would be gone.

A tricky question indeed. Whether to tolerate corruption and take the money, or to cut out the source of corruption at its root and find alternative finance.

I'm not sure which I would make.
