Just Call Him Faux Pas Mitterrand
</hdr><body>
<p>By David Ellis/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> For the past two years French President FRANCOIS
MITTERRAND, 74, has made an unbroken string of political
blunders, and now people are beginning to question his ability
to understand a rapidly changing international scene. His latest
mistake: publicly concluding that Gennadi Yanayev and his
co-conspirators were "the men in charge" and calling sanctions
"premature." This follows Mitterrand's efforts to broker a peace
plan just hours before the deadline for Iraq to withdraw from
Kuwait, and his vain attempt to halt German unification.
