On Haitian Pact With The Devil: A Clarification
The sad thing about the ambassador's response was that he NEVER refuted Pat Robertson. He goes into irrelevant tangents about the Louisiana Purchase and Simon Bolivar leading the revolutions against Spain.

On Haitian Pact With The Devil: A Clarification
I know a few Haitians and interact with Haitian community. This "Pact With The Devil" has been a common refrain over the years. After I heard of the earthquake I saw and spoke with a Haitian lady that's been in the states close to 30 years and almost the first words out her mouth was "the pact with the devil."

On Haitian Pact With The Devil: A Clarification
I'm not suggesting that there was a pact with the devil. I'm just saying that this nonsense wasn't created by Pat Robertson. And unfortunately lot's of Haitians believe their misery is a result of said deal.
I doubt many historians would believe there was a pact with the devil any more than they would ascribe the ascendancy of a particular people to the bounty of God.
