Youre thinking King Abdullah of Jordan appeared on an episode of ST Voyager IIRC.
His father was King Hussein, a really great man who was instrumental in the peace procces during the last decaded right up until his death a few years back. Though he sided with Iraq during the gulf war for some reason or at least didnt join the coalition, he was very well regarded by everyone. His funeral was attended by pretty much every single important world leader from Clinton to Yeltsin.
BTW mrfish and udie you guys gotta stop this, its getting ridiculous.
