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 ‘star trek’ and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, and Sulu wo is Japanese, but no Iranian’s, why is that?”
President Bush just laughed, leaned over in the Ambassadors ear and said “that is because ‘star trek’ takes place in the future.”
