Will some people mourn Nino Vieira? I'm sure. But there are also many that won't be losing much sleep over the death of what they consider to have been a very unpopular leader. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7918792.stm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7918792.stm</a rel="nofollow">" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7918792.stm</a></a><a href="http://angonoticias.com/full_headlines_.php?id=22841" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://angonoticias.com/full_headlines_.php?id=22...</a rel="nofollow">" target="_blank">http://angonoticias.com/full_headlines_.php?id=22...</a></a> (In portuguese) There is a saying in Portuguese and I'm sure other languages: Quem pelo ferro mata, pelo ferro morre.
