The Pakistani president Gen Pervez Musharaf is currently in the US. He addressed the UN assembly.
He had just finished giving his speech, getting his quota of publicity by lambasting India and the affairs in Kashmir.
After the speech, he walks out into the lobby where he met President
Bush. They shook hands and walked together in the long verandah when suddenly the General Pervez said, “You know, you have been a big help in giving us monetary help, not applying too much pressure on us for our adventures in Kashmir, but I have just one question about what I have seen in America.”
President Bush says “Well your Excellency, anything I can do to help
you, I will do.”
The Pakistani whispers, “My son watches this show ‘Star Trek’ and in it there are Russians, and Blacks, Chinese, Japanese and Indians but never any Pakistani, Afghani or Arabs. So my son is very upset. He doesn’t understand nor do I about why there aren’t any Arabs, Pakistanis, and Afghanis in the Star Trek show.”
President Bush laughs and leans toward the Pakistani, and whispers in his ear, “Because… the show is all about the future.”
