The Nazis didn't impose Vichy - the French parliament gave full powers to Petain willingly. Roosevelt didn't mind Vichy. When his troops took Algeria, he wanted to keep De Gaulle out and supported the ex-Vichy governor and maintained the anti-semitic laws. It was a Gaullist terrorist who killed the governor, provoking a change of policy from Roosevelt. There are also not a few Jews who voted for her or at least are happy she got to the second round.
I thought Assad offered to leave a few years ago (in exchange for someone else from the Baath) and this was refused by the various powers at the time. No?
