Spain: "Ababababa…"
But the most eye-catching event was on April 20, 1993.
Even the Pope stepped up, hoping both sides would remain calm, willing to use "God" to guide them to halt the war, and even met with US Secretary of Defense Norman Schwarzkopf, though what they talked about specifically is unknown.
But on the next day, April 21.
The Vatican suddenly announced the 73-year-old Pope John Paul II suddenly fell ill and went to the embrace of God.
This led mainstream media in Europe to start questioning Defense Secretary Norman Schwarzkopf, "What exactly did you do!"
The BBC even made a satirical cartoon depicting the US Defense Secretary having a boxing match with the aged Pope, saying nothing directly but implying deeply that he was responsible for the death of John Paul II.
For a time, Europe was quite lively.
Those unaware might think they were preparing to form a "Pope's Crusade" against the United States.
He's dead, so dead and gone, the old man.
