I've read numerous things that would claim that this is exactly why people like the horror genre. Instead of being nihilist, as some would claim, horror is actually a very life-affirming experience.
Because while America possibly invading yet another Middle East country may be scary, at least they aren't wearing a knifeglove and stalking us in our dreams.
