I have recently read an article, in which it states that the "conflict" diamond or blood diamond atrocities no longer exist.
This was brought to my attention after a rapper named Kanye West made a song, with lyrics describing the conflict diamond problem in Africa with his song Diamonds(From Sierra Leonne).
The world wide humanitarian agency "Amnesty" has apparently worked hard over the years in the 90's and now the diamond atrocities which are mentioned in your post are virtually nonexistent now.
99% of killing and forced child labor has stopped.
The horrors you mentioned most certainly happened. But it would seem Pat Robertson would have had to participate before the 90's most likely
I'll get that article hold on.*
"Vibe.com, did Kanye do his homework"

I am in no way trying to justify Pat Robertson, I don't know him.
Judging by his words and apparent actions I don't want to.
Just trying to establish a timeline.

Yep, you're right.
So technically he could have been funding his presidential campaign in the 80's with blood MONEY.
How come noone is doing anything about this?
I suppose now he will feel some heat.
But is what he has done technically illegal?
Or will noone send him to court because the ones he's stealing from are his supporters?
I agree much with my brothers sentiment but when someone tries to represent christianity and is known for his christianity says evil and does evil things, these actions and words must be known, basically.
