Varela is a westerner from Herrera and understands the use of land and resources. He has been to Molejon and liked what he saw. Petaquilla is viewed as Panamanian and you know the motto of the Panamanistas. On top of that he is an Industrial Engineer graduate of Georgia Tech University and a "Bulldog!" forever. The US Government does not like him, but that may be a good thing right now. PRD would have been a total debacle for us and I believe Nararro would have shut us down in a minute.
Time to put SEC bumper sticker on car and get a T-shirt!!
