You should be; it killed more people last year than all acts of terrorism combined. Lightning is unpredictable just like terror. But, that doesnt mean you can't increase your odds of surviving one of these rare events. First, don't go tree-climbing during a storm. Second, don't go war-starting during an Intifada. Third, have a thick rubber helmet with you at all times. Finally, have a copy of Sun Tzu's The Art of War with you at all times (and actually read the damn thing.)
Section 2 - Waging War
* When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be damped.
* If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength.
* Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.
* Thus, though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays.
*There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.
Sun Tzu - 600 B.C.
