Columnist Dr Abdulaziz al-Maqaleh discusses in an article the third anniversary of Iraq occupation saying the anniversary passed while the Arab homeland is in a state of death-like silence. The capitals from where the occupation troops had come took to the streets in angry demonstrations denouncing the occupation and demanding to put an end to the aggression whereas the Arab people are feeling the humiliation with silence and none of the Arab citizens in any Arab capital dares to organize a demonstration reflecting the general feeling of suppressed anger for what has been happening to Iraq. The strangest thing we have begun to hear from the so-called political and intellectual leaderships is that what is happening in Iraq is an internal affair concerns the Iraqis.

What happens in Iraq is not an internal affair as is the affair in Palestine. The occupation is the same and its agents in both countries are the ones promoting this idea of the domestic affair. If what is happening in Iraq and Palestine is among the people without occupation and foreign intervention, it could be then an internal affair. But what is happening in both countries is a flagrant foreign occupation threatening the existence of the entire nation.
