...Capitol Hill. On April 3, long before Israel's diehard supporters in the Democratic Party had begun to wake up, DeLay visited Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri - site of Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain " speech 56 years earlier - to give an impassioned defense of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's military offensive against the Palestinians.
