Chapter 8, Verse 11 - Sun Tzu

The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.
~ from The Art of War, Giles translation ~

    I'm trying to understand this in light of what I just read about a recent suicide attack by a woman in a burqa in a food market in Pakistan.
