As the Haitian stated, Haiti wasn't freed with the help of the devil, they were freed with the help of God: "God created us all equal." To live as slaves was not the will of God, so they fought for their freedom based on that. They chose not to live as slaves based on the colour of their skin.
Why can't Pat Robertson get that? Is it because they're black? Did America make a deal with the devil when they spun up the American Revolution against the British?
The lack of prosperity in Haiti has a lot do to with outside influences just as much, if not more, than problems on the inside. And wouldn't it be a reach to consider America as the devil's servants?
