Wishful Thinking.

The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech and

walked out into the lobby where he met President Obama. 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 Obama 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, Uhura who is

Black and Sulu who is Japanese, but no Muslims. My son is very upset

and

doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Syrians or Lebanese on

Star Trek."

President Obama laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and

whispered back, "That's because it takes place in the future."
