Now he certainly wasn't a perfect leader and admits so...but compared to what we have in ‘0’? I think Assad would indeed be considered a moderate....though like Putin we do know who they are even if from time to time they say something sensible.

Just like Saddam. Both rooted for Christians and unveiled women. And they hanged jihadis and other hate boys from the trees to keep peace in their cesspools.
Someone posted a transcript of screams from earlier massive anti-Assad rally: “Bashar, you are a traitor. Stick your Constitution, elections to your #$%, hand as Ak-47s to kill Christian dogs, you, a slave of the Jews, Iran and Russia”.
That brings things into perspective on who is who there.
