Correction. Today's arrests will send a clear worldwide signal that law enforcement is still focused on fighting symptoms with 'tip of the iceberg' results.

The answer lies not in centralized, complicated, sophisticated and uniform "solutions" focused on 'running behind the facts' but more in simple, straightforward, decentralized and diverse solutions focused on causes, prevention and damage control.

Some food for thought:

An ounce of prevention still beats a pound of cure.

Diversity and the ability to adjust makes for an unbeatable combination. Ask any (bio) pest control specialist.

If you can't handle the attackers then you might want to change the targets.
