Little Susie 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?'
Susie'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.
Her father asks in shock, 'why Osama Bin Laden?'
'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....'Susie, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard.'
'I know,' Susie says, 'and once that gets him out in the open, the
Marines could blow the shit out of him.'
