Bernard-Henri Lévy Speaks on Libya

The serial shirt unbuttoner, speaking on BBC's Newshour, said:
Libya is the first war that France wins since 1918
They did get their asses handed to them by the Germans again, other Frenchmen, Vietnamese, Algerians, and whiny middle class college students in the mean time. To say that France won the First World War though might be a bit of a stretch. Seeing how a generation of young men was almost wiped out, and all those permanently maimed from chemical warfare (and also laying the groundwork for the Nazi's rise to power), it's rather difficult to make a claim that anyone 'won' that war.
Except America. We definitely won that one.
