TV preacher Pat Robertson said the quake in Haiti happened because the Haitians had made a deal with the DEVIL to gain their independence (in 1804).
I guess this is what he is referring to--Haiti is the only nation to have achieved independence by slave revolution.
Historical note: Many of the French colonists in Haiti fled with their slaves to Cuba. From there, they went to New Orleans, helping to ensure the city's French heritage.
Pat Robertson is a nut. He talks just because he enjoys listening to himself.
