Little Angelica 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 be mad at me for giving someone a valentine?
Angelica'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 how maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and then they sent valentines to Osama, he'd love everyone a lot more 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 looked at his daughter with newfound pride. "Angelica, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."
"I know," she says, "and once that gets him out in the open, the Marines can blow the livin’ shit out of him."
