The boy is crying wolf, but the townspeople ignore his increasingly dire warnings. Why wouldn't they? He has cried wolf many times before, and each time his claims turned out to be false. This time, they won't be fooled by the boy's alarmist calls for help.

The Middle East is set aflame by war, genocide, and unspeakable atrocities. Millions of refugees are making their arduous way to the north and the west in the hope for safety. Hordes of them have found safe haven in Europe.

Politicians, instead of providing the calming solace of true leaders, encourage such hysteria, and a number of governors have rejected the idea of welcoming refugees to their states altogether.
