I watched Levy being interviewed on Bill Moyer's PBS program, "Now" a month or so ago.

It was intriguing. I cannot say that I agreed with all he had to say, or his ideas regarding Pakistan (at least not in entirety) but there semed to be meat there.

For the curious, here is a piece about a session with Levy who is described at one point this way...

"Lévy's reputation for narcissism is unparalleled in his home country, and he's not unaware of the fact. The headline of one article about him coined the immortal dictum, 'God is dead but my hair is perfect'. He has been known to say that the discovery of a new shade of grey leaves him 'ecstatic', and that people who vote for Jean-Marie Le Pen cannot buy Philippe Starck furniture or Yohji Yamamoto clothes (as if their aesthetic taste were their greatest offence)."

Right-wing or not, I am driven by love of a well turned phrase and stylish insouciance to have some degree of affection for a fellow who can say such things and inspire such strong and clever reactions.
