How to Punish Financing Terrorism?

The New York Times reported yesterday, that a New York businessman has been accused of attempting to funnel money to a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. He pled guilty and could face up to 25 years in prison. Is this an appropriate amount of time to go to prison? If his contribution eventually would have caused the death of hundreds should he not be sentenced to life? Are the people who fund terrorism not just as guilty as those who perform the acts themselves? New York businessman Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari should be used as an example. If you help fund terrorism you are just as guilty as the terrorist him/herself.
