Exactly the point. All the money laundering talk is complete bs when it comes to terrorism. There is only one reason, and that is that government wants their taxes.

Which is a very valid reason.

I don't think that's strictly true. It's generally thought that one of the biggest bank robberies in the UK (the Northern Bank Robbery) was pulled off by the Provisional IRA. Terrorist organisations do need to launder money - it may just not be the same terrorist organisations that you are thinking of.
