Florida had financial institutions which aided their ability to move funds within this country and to receive funds from their terror bosses abroad.

The reason that they have these abilities is because of the large number of immigrants (legal and ILlegal) that transfer money back out of the US to their homelands. Be that the Middle East, Cuba, or Guatemala. California is the same way, but a lot more of that money is sent also to India, China, and Pakistan (H1B workers). That's why taxing and changing the international financial transaction biz is going to be so difficult, because it will affect both the illegals and LEGAL immigrants, and that's not an option.

Oh and things happened in the UAE because of past traditions and institutional needs but that is no excuse for THEM. Pathetic hypocrisy joined to ignorance is a mess.

And I suppose you believe that before the last decade or so II problems came about there were NO transfers of fund or foreigners using American banks.

Hilarious stuff.
