Hezbollah are Shi'ites. They are supported by Assad and Iran. Hezbollah is Shi'ite deployment to insure sovereign nations. Iran fell from the Shah some time ago. It was after the senior Assad took power in 1971. The Shah fell in Iran in 1979 by the Iranian Revolution. That makes Iran a sovereign nation under the leadership of the Shi'ites over 30 years. This leadership in the region is fairly new when measured by more stable Arab governments.

Poland and the Czech Republic (click here) expressed “reservations” about blacklisting Hezbollah at a discussion in Brussels earlier this month, JTA has learned.
Both Poland and the Czech Republic are considered more supportive of Israel than Western European nations that supported blacklisting Hezbollah, the source said....
But, the region has been unstable and it has been unstable for some time now. At least 50 years. None of this struggle is new. Is there any reason why the USA invasion into Iraq was more threatening than any American was willing to realize. Then to add to the American invasion Bush was targeting the Shi'ites of southern Iraq for annihilation.
The entire idea the USA should ride into Syria on a White Horse to save the day is the most hideous nonsense I have ever heard. It is all Neocon hubris without any understanding of what underlies these issues.
There are reasons why this mess has continued for nearly three generations now. The end is not even close to being near. The best that can happen is to allow those that want to battle to decide not to. There is dearly nothing The West is going to do within these nations to end the fighting. NOTHING.
These are god wars. Why do they kill Americans rather than surround them as their savior from violence and death? That is a more than interesting question.
We don't belong in Iraq.
We never did.
