[AmericanGirl]

Little Thelma comes home from first grade and tells her father that
they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. And, "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?"

Thelma'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 telling 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." Thelma, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."

"I know," Thelma says,"and once that gets him out in the open, the
Marines could blow the sh*t out of him."
