Just when Ecuador thought they'd ever have another president to represent them as Jamie Roldo did. Until Rafael Correa came along. By the time he and John met, Rafael had already been approached by EHMs. He understood the danger of saying no. Rafael remembered President Roldo and what he tried to accomplish. And what happened to him as a result. Correa knew he was treading rough waters. He acted accordingly. He renegotiated the deal with oil companies which included them cleaning up their mess. And compensated the citizens of Ecuador.
John expressed deep regret over his role in the situation that his deal resulted in. The Amazon Jungle was damaged beyond belief. The jaguars all but disappeared. Indigenous people barely existed. They tried suing the Exxon Oil company. We both know how that went. Think Valdez Alaska. Correa was very aware of the Coup which had happened in Honduras with Manuel Zelaya.
