This is not strictly true.  If it could be determined where a large
bulk of the spoofing came from, public pressure could be applied.  This
may not have been the issue in this case, but in many amplification and
reflection attacks, the originating spoof-enabled networks were from a
limited set of networks.  De-peering, service termination, shaming, etc
could have an effect.
