Little Melissa comes home from first grade and tells her father that they  learned about the history of Valentine's Day.  "Since Valentine's Day is  for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "will God get mad at  me for giving someone a valentine?" Melissa's father thinks a bit, then  says "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a  valentine to?"  "Osama Bin Laden," she says. "Why Osama Bin Laden," her father asks in  shock. "Well," she says, "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." Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with newfound  pride. "Melissa, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard." "I  know," Melissa says, "and once that gets him out in the open, the Marines  could blow the crap out of him."
