He basically said since the Dominican Republic practiced no Vodou, God hasn't cursed them. The problem with that is, the Dominicans have their own Vodou......21 Divisions, or Dominican Vodu. So obviously, He either didn't do his research, or didn't care. As for the pact, we all know about Bwa Kayiman (Bois Caiman), which had no Devil pact; but it did show the first noted appearance of the lwa Mambo Ezili Danto (hence the black pig sacrifice, which is so integral to her cultus) Pat Robertson blamed the poverty of the country on Vodou as well; and used the comparison of the modernized Dominican Republic.

I've seen a lot of unpleasant commentary about Haitian Vodou over the past week, so I think it's important to place sane and accurate material about these traditions – and the historical and economic reasons for Haiti's vulnerability – more visibly in the public domain wherever possible. I've linked to your article from my own blog post about the earthquake and media representations of Vodou: http://cleanlivingindifficultcircumstances.blogspot.com/ Thanks for your post.
