*The above is in no way meant to diminish the citizens of either country in question.  Both countries have clear human rights issues.  Whether bombing is the solution or not is open for debate, and whether the US (or France) should be involved or not is open for debate, but whether or not the citizens of these countries are being abused by their leadership is not.
