"Capturing and punishing perpetrators has always been the way to go"
No really Steve
The "way to go" is to find the causes of it and work out if, as a nation, our own behavior hasn't been and still is a part of it.

It isn't either/or, and I doubt if many people think it is. The bit about whether our behaviour is part of it is difficult, though. *I* believe it is, certainly, but there are those who feel even considering that for a moment is a sign of weakness. That's bad when it is 'our side' saying it makes us look weak, but it is worse when 'their side' sees us as looking weakened. On the other hand the bravado-stance that it is nothing to with us is either deluded or unthinking. I don't envy anyone deciding what the 'public face' of this needs to be.
