I beg to differ. The majority of Americans do not like to travel outside of the US. As far as mandatory ID that is certainly not true for Central & South America. Maybe some Europeans can chime in, but I'd think it's not mandatory as domestic ID - that's why they have National identity cards. However, as most Europeans like to travel, I am sure the vast majority do have passports. Close proximity to other countries certainly helps facilitate this.
