The people breaking the laws in those countries know the penalty before they do the crime. No one would suggest not trading with the US because they execute prisoners, so why would we stop aid because people that deal in death and other people's misery are themselves killed?
Isn't that just a little fanciful, AOG? Why would we need money from anyone? We're one of the richest countries on the planet.
Remember, we sent troops to fight and die in Iraq and Afghanistan because it was better to face the enemy there than on the streets of the UK. Similarly, it's better that the first line of defence in the war on drugs is situated where they're produced.

How about a coordinated worldwide programme to destroy relevant crops where they grow instead of this futile, grandstanding behaviour?
