This is Such a Touching Valentine Story.... !!

[lonewolfe]

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 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,

the Marines could blow the shit out of him."
