Iraqi Ambassador

“The Iraqi 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 Iraqi 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 Iraqi whispered "My son watches this show 'Star
Trek' and in it there is Chekov who is Russian, Scotty
who is Scottish, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Iraqis.
My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there
aren't any Iraqis on Star Trek."

President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iraqi ambassador,
and whispered back, "It's because it takes place in
the future . . . ."”
