A lot of people are criticizing Schneier for lack of empathy or too much nonchalance. Can we really have too much nonchalance in our post Afghanistan/Iraq/Drone strikes/Surveillance state world?

I think about what our world and the U.S. might be like if we had "too much" nonchalance in the face of the 9/11 attacks and had simply done nothing in response. It's hard for me to come up with a scenario that is worse than what resulted from our response.
