    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, and 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 new-found
    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, our
    Marines could blow his butt to Kingdom Come."
