Cuban dictator Raul Castro and his new Mini Me, Miguel Diaz-Canel.
What to think of Miguel Diaz-Canel, Cuba's new "vice president."
The most telling circumstance of his rise to the No. 2 position in the communist hierarcy is this: He owes his rise, he owes his most recent promotion, he owes whatever his future holds, to his lifelong fealty to the Castro brothers and their lying, thieving, murdering dictatorship.
It was left unsaid, but do not let it be forgotten that Diaz-Canel has been tapped to eventually take the helm of a regime that beats the Damas De Blanco in the streets; that imprisons journalists and other dissidents for their opposition to the Castros; and that systematically impoverishes the Cuban people.
Whatever his individual style, whatever the "experts" might tell you what his elevation might mean for propsects for "reforms" in Cuba, do not forget that Diaz-Canel is just a dictator in training
