In France BHL (Bernard-Henri Lévy ) is a rather notorious
personage. Probably he sees himself as a great philosopher,
and certain part of the media likes him very much because
he is eager to mix up with every theme "a la mode", looks
well at TV shows etc, but as far as I know more serious
people do not consider his declarations as fiable, everything
he says has to be checked at least twice - if it is of any
relevance at all.
