Assad is a murdering scumbag who started this whole thing. Yeah, he’s better than ISIS.

Actually Hillary started it, as in the Arab Spring. If you look at the condition of Syria and Libya before Hillary decided to light up the Middle East, you’d see two stable and fairly prosperous countries run by dictators who generally left you alone, as long as you did act like the New York Times treats Republicans.
Libya didn’t put up much of a fight, and the place now is a TOTAL HELLHOLE. Assad didn’t want to see Syria end up like Libya, as would have happened if he quietly stepped down, nor was he too hot on following the fate of Libya’s leader. So he resisted the terrorists.
Easy to blame him for not being a Thomas Jefferson, but other than Israel, how many countries in the Middle East are run by Thomas Jeffersons?
