The Yazidis are a
centuries-old religious group living in Northern Iraq, They are presently being
exterminated by the Islamic State or ISIS. Tens of thousands of Yazidis are
trapped on Mount Sinjar without food or water. The women and young girls are
being sold into sexual slavery, i.e. raped. Why is the U.N. not involved in
their rescue?
Isn't that what the U.N.
is supposed to do? prevent genocide?
And if the U.N. is not
getting involved, why isn't it? No time? Too busy? Plenty of folks find the time
to show up whenever they have one of their shindigs in New York,

"Ah, your majesty. What
an honor."
"Delighted to see you
again, Mr. Prime Minister. You know you must try one of the chef's special hors
d'oeuvres. He makes them with a little piece of lobster meat, a baby shrimp and
a small scallop. Take it all in one bite. The taste is like nothing you've ever
experienced before. 'Waiter. Waiter.' "
Or when they have one of
those conferences on the plight of women, except for the ones trapped on a
mountaintop somewhere,
Or one of those
conferences on how it's not lukewarm all year round anymore so the rich
countries have to compensate the poor ones for the lousy weather they're having.
Yes, they have the hors d'oeuvres there too. But don't plan on getting a limo.
They're usually booked months in advance.

Maybe the secret to
getting the UN involved here is to have someone climb Mt. Sinjar and teach the
Yazidis how to make hors d'oeuvres, especially the ones with a little piece of
lobster meat, a baby shrimp, and a small scallop. If you take it all in one
bite, the taste is supposed to be like nothing you've ever experienced
before. Hmm.....'Waiter.
Waiter.'
