Star Trek Iraq

The Iraqi Ambassador to the UN has just finished giving a speech, and
walks out into the lobby where he meets President Bush.

They shake hands and, after a brief chat about world affairs, the Iraqi
says, "I have a question that I think perhaps you can answer."

President Bush says, "Well, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer,
but I'll do my best."

The Iraqi ambassador continues, "My son watches this show 'StarTrek' and in it there are Russians, Blacks, and Asians, but never any Arabs. He is very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Arabs in Star Trek."

President Bush laughs, leans toward the Iraqi, and whispers,
"It's because it takes place in the future...."
