>"It's simple. They want water. I have it, as long as they agree to get 
>baptised." Good to see the Christian principle of giving freely is alive 
>and well near Najaf in central Iraq, where US army chaplain Josh Llano is 
>jealously guarding his 500-gallon pool of clean water from the thirsty, 
>sweaty soldiers of V corps combat support system, who could do with a 
>long-overdue dip in it.
>
>Only after soldiers have sat through a 90-minute sermon - and turned to 
>the Lord - are they allowed anywhere near his pool, he told the Miami 
>Herald cheerfully. "You have to be aggressive to help people find 
>themselves in God."
>
>Even rumours of portable showers that could dry up his supply line to a 
>trickle have left the southern Baptist undaunted. "There is no fruit here 
>and I have a stash of raisins, juice boxes and fruit rolls to pull out."
