I say corruption proceeds is far more dangerous than terrorist money. The terrorist kill by the hundreds, corruption by the millions. You can have homeland security to curb terrorism but what can a poor man do in Nigeria? You may even argue that terror is the outcome of poor foreign policies but what did my mother ever do to this country?

Think about how the US & EU forced the world to sit up and prevent terrorist from getting funding. Can we plead with them to do same with corruption proceeds?
@Suleimana
Voice of reason,take the issue of immigration(controlled immigration) walks the street of europe/americas and africans abound doing jobs native can`t/won`t do.US/EU will not do the right thing as per your comments as it will affect the status quo,there are powerful interest all over the world that will do everything/anything to protect their interest,yes sadly US/EU included.
Case in point according to BBC`Former prime minister John Major is one of only a handful of leaders of the country (UK)not to have attended Oxford or Cambridge`.So go figure if the same cabal will turn against one of their own in any third world country.
