The Syrian 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 as they walk, the Syrian says, "You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America."

President Bush says, "Well, Mr. Ambassador, I'll be happy to answer your question."

The Syrian whispers, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it, there are Russians, and 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 and leans toward the Syrian, and whispers back, "It's because it takes place in the future...."
