We all said on Sept. 11, 2001 that we would never forget. Though our memories of the departed and the terror we all felt that day live on, Scheuer’s point is that our will for action does not. And without popular will for a true offensive against the United States’ biggest existential threat, this administration will simply allow us to return to a pre-9/11 state of complacency.
