Not that I'm an expert on the matter but could it possibly be becuase Hezbollah did not want to see a greater Saudi influence in the region?
Re: Syrian war spreads to Lebanon
First of all, we need to understand that Lebanon is not as “foreign” to Syria as we tend to think. The two were actually one country, and they were together called “SHAAM”. It was British who divided them in two, making a Muslim majority Syria and Christian majority Lebanon. So Hezbollah entering Syria is less “foreign” than Saudi or Qatari funding, and takfiris coming from all over the world.
Hezbollah was not involved while the opposition only wanted to topple Assad. But it changed when the takfiri nawasib started arriving in droves. These khawarij nasibis were not just planning to topple secular Baathist regime but also were threatening to slaughter every shia in their villages close to Lebanese border. Chances were that they will also attack Hezbollah in Lebanon after they impose their shariah over whole of Syria.
So in this way **it was a political decision **by Hezbollah to nip the evil in the bud before they work with Zionists to destroy Hezbollah. But **it also was a religious decision **because takfiris had already desecrated Hijr ibn Addi’s remains, destroyed his grave, and now were planning to do the same with Sayyeda Zainab’s rawza.
This is from May 2012. Gives some reasons why Hezbollah joined in. When Nusra Front desecrated the shrine of Hijr ibn Addi…
The desecration of the shrine - and the removal of the remains - drew condemnation from the highest levels of Shiite Islam. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei called it “bitter and sad,” while the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon issued a statement stark warning that it “foretells a large conflict and gloomy evil.”
As (the war) drags on, it has grown more sectarian and more likely to spill over into neighboring countries. In the immediate term, Lebanon would be foremost among them, directly pitting Hezbollah militants against al Qaeda-linked jihadists who have flocked to Syria from across the Muslim world.
Most of the action they’ve seen recently has been defending the Lebanese Shiites living in over 20 border villages inside Syria, notably al-Qasr, home to Lebanese Shiites and Christians which has come under attack by fighters from Jabhat al-Nusra.
The second of Hezbollah’s main missions in Syria is to defend the Sayyida Zeinab shrine near Damascus (other Shiites - Iraqis - are believed to be there as well). The ornately decorated shrine is where the granddaughter of the prophet Mohammed is buried, a highly sacred place for Shiites that normally sees pilgrims visiting year-round.
Hezbollah’s leader, Shiekh Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, last week seemed to draw one of his own, warning of “serious repercussions” if the shrine is attacked.
Re: Syrian war spreads to Lebanon
Hasan Nasrallah has a proven record of playing his cards right. When he decided to get involved in Syria then he knew very well that this war will be brought to Lebanon as well. But keeping in view those cannibals, he took the risk.
Hezbollah’s allies in the region are in among all religions and sects. This shows the non-sectarian nature of Hezbollah’s politics. Hamas is Sunni, and they are trained by Hezbollah, there are Christian Maronite groups in Lebanon who are their allies in Lebanon and Syria. So if sectarianism increased in the region then it is due to the foreign funding initially provided by sectarian Middle Eastern governments and Israel. Now if Syria and Lebanon are burning then it is those Zionists and Middle Eastern supporters responsible for it.
Considering how much destruction takfiris have brought to Islam, **I think everyone should be delighted **to see them gathering in one place where they could be exterminated easily. It will clean up the world with large portion of those takfiris.
Here is what Nasrallah said when he Hezbollah joined the fight last year:
He said Hezbollah was not acting out of sectarian motives but to defend Lebanon from radical groups.
“**Syria is no longer a place where there is a popular revolution against a political regime, **rather it has become a place for imposing a political plan led by America and the West, and its tools in the region,”
“**We will continue to the end of the road, we accept this responsibility and will accept all sacrifices and expected consequences of this position,”
**“Fa inna Hezbollah hum Al-Ghaliboun” (Quran: 5:56)

Re: Civil war in Iraq
So, it seems that Assad is increasingly looking to live to fight another day?
Thank you Al-kay da. I guess no one wants to be another taliban / AQ heaven. I just don’t get what does qatar get by promoting extremists as it would come to bite them sooner than later like even mahi baap saudia. What a messed up muslim world.

Who ever sees the real face of these 'warriors' gets disillusioned by them.
Re: Civil war in Iraq
What Assad and his regime have demonstrated ability with, and that the Jihadists have proven incapable of doing: governance. Aside from that, there’s no comparison: the native rebels are in the right and Assad is a savage beast who has murdered tens, if not hundreds, of thousands. So I call BS on the general tenor of the article. But I suppose everyone is going to pick their b*stards based on ideological stance. Body counts apparently count for nothing.

there's a general feeling that the movement of restoration of democracy in Syria has been hijacked by militants. Syria at the moment has become a magnet for international jehadis. Keeping this in view its understandable if the moderate factions of the movement are feeling sidelined and hence getting disillusioned.

One can expect infighting amongst those who have a stake in Syria's future and those who simply want to use it as another forward operating base. Those fighters who simply give up and return to the regime that brutalized them prove nothing except, perhaps, that they were fighting for petty reasons in the first place.
