Is Bashar al-Assad really as bad as everyone makes him out to be?
After seeing several videos on the internet of the Syrian Civil War, the only atrocities I've seen have been perpetrated by the Free Syrian Army and other rebel groups. For example, a Syrian policeman having his head hacked off by a machete? Or a group of rebels kneeling down captured Syrian soldiers and shooting them in the head/ slashing their throats? I feel utterly disgusted. It's like something the Einsatzkommando would have done.

While the rebels, being disorganized militants as they are, commit a lot of individual "Atrocities"(beheadings, etc), Assad regime commits a few strategic "Atrocities"(Chemical weapons, bombing civilians, etc).
They have a different standard of what is considered moral, judge them however you like, just know that it will be the losers that end up being the "bad" guys.
