if the shiite's in iraq are being attacked by sunni muslims, why isnt the "Despite steps taken by the Russian president to reduce the danger, we feel there is a danger of deadly weapons falling into the hands of Hezbollah," Katsav added, referring to the Syrian-backed Lebanese-based Shiite movement." doing anything about it? from news sources i've seen in the U.S. it seems that the shiite's in iraq are holding back from all the insurgency crap against them because they stand to gain from democracy, but why isn't the lebanese shiites helping them out?

Iran probably told Hezbollah not to interfere because it would only complicate the situation. Iran has alot to gain from a Shia dominated Iraq. Shia terrorists making their presence felt in Iraq could endanger the situation.
