Yup. Just "Asia" is silly - I see them all the time, and it's not just China and Korea, but those real nasties in Brazil, and the Netherlands, and Russia, and some Germans, and occasional the Brits... and, of course, let's not forget all those nasty evil scum trying to break in... from the US.
Agreed -- the abuse is not just from one continent or country.
But at the same time it's not prudent to allow anyone access to a service (host/port/page/whatever) when they have no need to.
Perfect example being people who let SSH open to the world on production boxes and do little to nothing to protect it.
