At Krohn’s age, I believe I was railing against Arafat and musing aloud about joining the IDF, despite being an American gentile. Rabin was kind of my JFK, and Netanyahu was more of “my president” than Clinton. I’ve changed quite a bit, but I’m surprised at just how much I seemed to be right about the world back then, and I’m thankful I don’t have to go through a huge painful realignment process like all those “9/11 conservatives” that belatedly discovered everything they thought they knew about the world was false.

Ben Shapiro, Ben Ferguson, and Ben Stein all started off pretty young in conservative politics, and as far as I know, all three Bens are well adjusted and not, you know, has-Bens.
