The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech, and
walked out into the lobby where he met President Bush.
They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said, "You Know, I
have
just one question about what I have seen in America."
President Bush said, "Well, anything I can do to help you, I will."
The Iranian whispered "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it
there
is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, and Sulu who is
Chinese,
but no Arabs or Iranians, My son is very upset and doesn't understand
why
there aren't any Iranians on Star Trek."
President Bush cracked a little grin, leaned toward the Iranian
ambassador,
and whispered back, "That's because it takes place in the future."
