Considering the opposition are head chopping jihadists, I say we treat Assad the same way we treat the Saudis (who are also head chopping jihadis).

The opposition is so broad that it includes Kurdish independence fighters, pro-democracy fighters, and actual terrorists. This doesn't mean that Assad is better than a plausible alternative. Do your research before you make comments on foreign policy please.

Kurdish independence fighters

Only care about Kurdistan

pro-democracy fighters

A tiny minority even when they still existed

actual terrorists

The vast majority

Like it or lump it, a Syria without Assad was never going to be anything but another Libya, begging for their strongman back.
