A man who doesn't know where is Vatican city, what is the population of there, he is interested but not more. However, when a media make a history or film of Vatican City than he is more excited to know about that, because he doesn't know anything about Vatican city.

He thought that the best way to get the public's mind off the firefly girl is to give them something bigger to think about. For changing the story he decides to manufacture a war against Albania.why Albania?Because the United States people doesn't know anything about the country. As a result public mind was setup on Albania.They forgot about the scandal.
