Hizbullah and Iraq

I have argued before that the underlying causes for Hizbullah's intervention in Syria--which I disapprove of (as if I count)--is political and not sectarian. But let us be clear: if Hizbullah intervenes in Iraq even with one fighter, the causes would be purely sectarian, no ifs or buts.  Hizbullah media are getting quite festive and feverish in supporting Nuri Al-Maliki (a creature of foreign occupation) and this solidarity can't be said to be anything BUT sectarian.
