The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished
giving a speech,
and walked out into the lobby where he met
Condoleezza Rice. They
shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said,
"You know, I have
just one question about what I have seen in
America."
Condoleezza Rice 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."
"My son is very upset and doesn't understand why
there aren't any Iranians on Star Trek."
" Condoleezza Rice laughed, leaned toward the
Iranian ambassador,
and whispered back, "It's because it takes place
in the future."
