In the youtube video, Robertson spoke of the Haitians being against Napoleon III who was the French Emperor in the late 19th century and not even alive at the time!
Another thing, suffering happens in this life because of original sin. We are fallen, and so is creation itself. Because we and creation are fallen, we will continue to suffer personal and natural pains until Christ returns and remakes everything new again. Had sin never entered the world, this like this would never happen.
I feel we need to be very careful about declaring any event being an act of God; however, we also must not reject the possibility entirely. Many of us feel that abortion, and sins as grave as that, are things can easily bring down the wrath of God upon our nation...our nation bears the corporate sin of legal abortion and I do not think many Catholics would find it strange that God would punish a people for such grave sins.
Yet, no matter what the truth is with all of this...it all comes down to sin: personal sin, coporate sin and original sin.
