The old world broke this week. It was blown up cynically by someone who thought this would advance their agenda the most.<\/p>\n

The act of vandalizing a major piece of physical infrastructure, targeting civilian populations, isn\u2019t unprecedented in history, but it does signal that everything we thought we knew about the rules of the current game was wrong.<\/p>\n
