What are we afraid of? Well, there is the little matter of 540A.D. (arbitrary date). Rome overrun by barbarians. The beginning of the Dark Ages. The Byzantine Empire destroyed by Muslims. Trade between the Mediterranean and the Far East halted for centuries.

We can argue until we run out of breath in our bodies as to what caused all that, but that's what we're afraid of. Rightly so, I might add.
