So pretty much, you wish to create many different Internet 'islands' by isolating networks that are assigned address space from APNIC and RIPE? By doing so you threaten e-commerce and the businesses of many who receive their international customers via the Internet and yet this is effective. As communication overseas advances in the physical world, you'd further hinder the advancement of the Internet, give ISP's no other choice than cutting their many trans-Atlantic fiber links, and those who wish to keep their links up have to rely on the other side to not be angered and pull the plug on their side, yet this is effective. Take a look at Attrition.org's defacement archive, the majority of the defacers are from the United States, and a lesser crowd from APNIC/RIPE networks, I can't speak on credit card fraud, but should we in turn go around segregating the ARIN networks due to internal misuse, would that be 'effective' to you?

I'd venture to say that this is the result of the following phenomena:
Block all APNIC and RIPE assigned networks at the border and all of the sudden, hack attempts and CC fraud disappear.
It's fan-%^&#ing-tasticly simple to do and so very effective.
