hello,

anybody here have any opinions on Bernard-Henri Levy?

he hadn't hit my radar at all... until his Guardian article :

observer.guardian.co.uk/world/...00.html

of course can't really make an impression about his ideas from that , but
kinda like the way this lands a few poised journalist jabs without really outright saying:

beware: celebrity philosophers are usually full of shit !


when i looked up more info on BHL, i found a picture of him that reminded me of
Daniel Auteuil's character in Michael Haneke's film Cache.
(fantastic film dealing with the ghosts of Algerian colonization, racism, national
security and the culture of fear )...

and wonder, if anybody who has seen the film and knows BHL might say that this media intellectual / character in the film
is based on him ??
