Little Melissa came home from 1st grade and told her father that they had learned about the history of Valentine's Day. "Since Valentine's Day is named after a Christian saint, and we're Jewish," she asked, "will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?"<br /><br />Melissa's father thought a bit, and then said, "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?"<br /><br />"Osama Bin Laden," she said.<br /><br />"Why Osama Bin Laden?" her father asked in shock.<br /><br />"Well," she said, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give Osama a valentine, he might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and sent valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them and how he didn't hate anyone anymore."<br /><br />Her father's heart swelled with pride and he looked at his daughter with newfound joy and love. "Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."<br /><br />"I know," Melissa said, "...and once that gets him out in the open -- the Marines could find him and blow the crap out of him!"
