haiti continued

We already discussed Pat Robertson who blamed Haiti's suffering on their "bondage to the devil" (USA today). However, other people are claiming the exact same thing. That Haiti has followed the devil. Chavannes Jeune, a pastor in Haiti also believes in Haiti's "curse." He firmly believes it is a voodoo curse.

Are these claims harsh on Haiti? Or are they totally bogus? Personally I think its ludacris that anyone would think this. It's a natural disaster that could not have been predicted nor stopped. It is interesting though that more than one person shares this belief.
