Humanitarian mission assisted impoverished m
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) —
They put smiles on the faces of the
desperate and hopeless. 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.”

“Haiti has great, untapped poten

Minn., who expressed admiration for
the courage of ordinary Haitians and
said he will remember the smiles of
gratitude from the children.
Haiti, however, is far from be

Slie teen-,
SAARISELKA, Finland f AP) — The devastating earth
quake in Turkey last month had a surprising, positive ef
fect on regional politics, with Greece showing readiness
for a thaw in its relations with Tlirkey by dropping ob
jections to its closer integration into Europe.
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 "
