"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer." Is a great expression said by Corleone in the movie "The Godfather Part II". Over the last 10-15 years terrorism has become our worst enemy, something that is closer to us then we could imagine. It is something that neither one of us wants to deal with.

Terrorism has been in our world for a pretty long time. But for us Americans terrorism is a very new concept, and we lack the ability to adapt and cope to it. Terrorism is a type of crime and avoiding becoming a victim means to understand the crime and the criminals involved in it.

If you want to understand terrorism and try to cope with it, the most important rule is to not worry. You will accomplish nothing positive and good fighting terrorism by worrying. More than that: it means that you didnt prepare properly for it.

Try to think about what kind of people terrorists could be. You probably think they are some kind of mysterious invisible creatures, like phantoms and they have the ability to come out of nowhere bringing with their appearance death, fire and terror.

But this is not the truth! You only see them this way because people involved in terrorism spend a lot of time studying their victims in order to be able to exploit their weaknesses. Any criminal, including a terrorist, is in constant looking for ways to turn something you trust against you. Before they can arrange a terrorist attack, terrorism based organizations are watching and studying the habits and lifestyles of their victims for a great amount of time.

So they know very well our habits. Predictability is a thing that most us humans have in common. We fall in some routines driven by the way our society works, becoming very predictable. Predictability is the easiest weakness to exploit. That is why terrorism exploits the very most that weakness.

The good news is that we have complete control over predictability. That means you can prevent terrorism affecting your life by taking away the opportunity they desire the most.

The challenge of modern day terrorism that drives in the most speculations is how to prevent a terrorist attack. Anyway, preventing terrorism turning us into victims is almost impossible; avoiding this is the thing that we could possibly do.
