The internet was an experiment to design a network resiliant to attack,
seeing as www.gov.ps has gone offline when Palestine was attacked, the
experiment is a dismal failure, so we should all pack up and get new
jobs?

The internet has a structure from a given viewpoint, a path layed out
before you to any given destination, or at least the rechable ones.
And a different structure from any other viewpoint.  You are in a
maze of twisty passages, all alike.  Although slightly more asymmetric
than that one.
