By His Own Reckoning, One Man Made Libya a French Cause
BERNARD-HENRI LÉVY, 62, is such an inescapable figure in France of mockery, admiration, amusement, envy that he is by now unembarrassable. Making his mark young as a philosopher, he was satirized neatly by a critic with the words: God is dead, but my hair is perfect.But in the space of roughly two weeks, Mr. Lévy managed to get a fledgling Libyan opposition group a hearing from the president of France and the American secretary of state, a process that has led both countries and NATO into waging war against the forces of the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. Posted by: tipper 2011-04-02 |
