Haiti

Pat Robertson claims that this earthquake is God's punishment for a "pact" they made with the devil. That's complete non-sense! The haitians wanted to gain independence from the French!Does wanting to be free and in control of yourself mean that your creating a "pact" with the devil? Haiti was a place were slaves received some of the worst treatments! Centuries back slaves were taken there to be "civilized" before being brought over to America--the slaves who were not able to be controled were left on the island,and others were taken as slaves for St.Domingue's colonist. In 1791 a slave rebellion took place and later evolved into the Hatian Revolution. When Napolean came in to take Haiti for the french like he did much of America he was having trouble defeating Toussaint Louverture(leader of the French Revolution) and his army of warriors! Since the french were at war there and in Europe funds were running low and he asked the Queen for money but she said no so he sold the Louisiana Purchase.Louverture governed Haiti until he was tricked by Napoleon and killed. Basically the people of Haiti are warriors and many Americans like to believe that they are 'rebels' and for that reason don't like them. ex. A lot of Haiti's rice crops(one of there biggest crops) were burned and many poor people were eating mud sandwhiches! Where was America when these people didn't have any food? If America cares so much about helping and providing aid why didn't they help with the genocide in Darfur?
