I agree that the rest of the world requires passports for entry. I'm fairly well traveled myself, having spent 20 years in the Navy and covered a fair share of the nations on this planet.
.
However, historically Canada, Mexico, and the island nations off our Eastern coast did not require passports for entry, nor did American citizens require passports to re-enter the States (coming up soon...exceptions for trips to and from U.S. Territories not withstanding). The changes for our neighbors are only very recent and driven by the Dept. of Homeland Security.
