and walked out into the lobby where he met President Bush.
They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said, "You know, I

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

President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador,
and whispered back, "That's because it takes place in the future!"
