That's what I've been thinking of late, too. Yes, BP is "responsible". Yes, they screwed up. Yes, they need to fix it...but they are going to need help, and this effects a lot more than just them. Everyone who can needs to get involved in this in the best way they can, then, after we've sorted it out, stopped it and cleaned it up...THEN it's time for who owes who how much, who's to blame, the chest thumping and the whatnot. Only THEN.
