Many people agree the generals in Myanmar are bad, but they look good compared to the Taliban. Here is a snip from an article about three beatings in Pakistan.

The tribal elder who provided the footage said the man was being punished for allegedly "working against the Taliban" by speaking out against the militants. The second victim appears to be a teenage boy, who the tribal elder said was being blamed for not growing a beard. The third victim was said to be punished for not praying.

Any analogy which would infer that Hitler "looked good" compared to anybody is a choice of words I'd never employ. I'm not criticizing anybody else's right to say things like that but there are just some people whose evil is so deep and ingrained that they don't deserve anything but pure condemnation. Hitler and Pol Pot are a couple of examples that come to mind (but the world, unfortunately, has had so many other monsters that deserved nothing more than a swift killing).
