I won't say that we are an afraid people, but the human mind does have some sort of a "worry box" which always needs something in it. We here in america don't have to worry about the essentials like food, water, and shelter; therefore our brains move further and further, looking for more interesting fears to occupy ourselves with. The fact that we worry about a six and a half foot tall saudi on kidney dialysis (sp?) hiding in afghanistan (or wherever) goes to show that we don't have a lot of things to worry about.
