Sidestepping Godwin's Law
Usually, comparisons with the Nazis are overblown and such hyperbole discredits the arguments of those who wield it. Barack Obama has successfully faced down the Tea Party in his presidential re-election, despite their claims democratic socialism (which he doesn't espouse anyway) and national socialism are synonymous.
When the United Nations makes the comparison officially, one must take stock, however. North Korea's hermit state's atrocities are of such a systematic scale and horror, that the main author behind a report into human rights in the country said the crimes of Nazi Germany spring to mind.
China dismissed the report, calling for 'constructive dialogue' into the human rights 'situation'. Kim Jong-Un may be interpret that as 'constrictive' and throats.
