- <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.
