A bit off topic, but some work done at Los Alamos National Laboratory
seems to indicate that the patterns in wars and terrorism have fractal
characteristics. (Specifically, a fractal power law spectrum, i.e., the
Fourier convolution has an envelope of -0.5, or so, meaning the
characteristics are very nearly the same as a fractional Brownian motion
fractal.)
There is a link at the bottom to the original publication at LANL.
Kind of interesting reading.
