They built toilets and showers for orphans used to squatting outside and bathing in drains. They helped farmers get produce to market. Now American troops are packing up to leave Haiti after a humanitarian mission that proba bly saved hundreds of lives and made those of countless others more livable. Maj. Marian Nutt, an Air Force clinical nurse from Louisville, Ky., struggles to find words to describe how long-suffering Haitians re acted to being treated like human beings. “They come to us in their Sun day best, as though to receive something not of this world," Nutt said. “It must feel like a miracle.” Marine Gunnery Sgt. David Marcussen, a 40-year-old military police officer, was so enthusiastic about his work in Haiti that he ex tended his tour of duty twice. “Marines are not only to be reckoned with as a destructive force,” he said. “We can also help get a country back onto its feet.” ve “Marines are not only to be reckoned with as a destructive force.

At a weekend meeting of European Union (EU) for eign ministers, Greek Foreign Minister George Papan- dreou said his country was ready to let Tlirkey into the 15-nation union. The earthquake “created a new climate," Papandreou told reporters yesterday at the end of the two-day meet ing. ‘“Human warmth came out of this tragedy. A mes sage-came out that we must work for peace." Papandreou said he had spoken with Tlirkish Foreign Minister Ismail Gem by telephone and told him of Greece’s change of heart. The new stance means that Greece will not block hun dreds of millions of dollars in EU grants and loans to help Tlirkey rebuild from last month’s earthquake, Papan dreou said. The death toll from the quake now stands at more than 15,000 and is expected to top 20,000. It also means EU leaders will likely add Tlirkey to the list of candidates for membership when they meet in Helsinki for a Dec. 15-16 summit, setting a " economic and democratic target' thecountr ~ ' ’ l1 ^ P Finnish Foreign Minister Tar knov had moved closer to EU membership, laigdvle j oin ^ tde an ule As of yes .’d in 22 cr 29 deaths ece. illeagues th the "most helpful” attitude of Gn Papandreou, however, told o and Tlirkey' still have a long way to go standing differences, notably over Cypr i territory, which have broueht the two v -' r ™ cnt ° an th, it) tin th >m :rati s well," Pa an EU m uropean : institutic olved all ists fori ndreou iber, Tui ah close to war in the "It does not mt ing questions, |bi breakthrough in He said to t needs to embi rule of law, der borly relations."
