"I mean all of this of course is just crazy speculation" Exactly, who knew how would Kara shape up if she didn't had to go through Farm or NC?
I don't think I see it black and white. They are all flawed but I don't think any of them is a dictator. Despite all his faults, I consider Adama a good commander. He tends to make the good decisions 90% of the time (even if not always immediately) without becoming tyrant or loosing the sense of what is right and wrong. Cain is more of a tragic character. She does decisions she truly believes are the best for the survival of people (i.e. her selected few) and her crew really respect her for that. She thinks that there is no other option than to be completely ruthless when fighting the cylons. The problem is that she lost perspective and crossed the line to the area, where you really wonder whether the survival of the human race is worth the cost.
