"Africa for the Africans means an Africa where Africans enjoy the fruits of honest toil in peace and security. An Africa that will nurture them, not imprison them. An Africa that is a solid base from which to go out there and fulfil their manifest destiny. An Africa where Africans no longer live in fear and uncertainty.
That is Africa for Africans." - Masimba Musodza.
"Iraq for the Iraqis means an Iraq where Iraqis enjoy the fruits of honest toil in peace and security. An Iraq that will nurture them, not imprison them. An Iraq that is a solid base from which to go out there and fulfil their manifest destiny. An Iraq where Iraqis no longer live in fear and uncertainty.
That is Iraq for Iraqis. " - george w. bush.
