Syria borders Iraq, which is mostly Shiite. Regardless of what the government in Baghdad thinks, the Shiites of Iraq are not going to want to see fellow Shiites massacred in Syria in the wake of a Sunni victory.

I see the Syrian conflict widening.

It is a bit more complicated than that because the part of Iraq that borders Syria is Sunni dominated. You have Sunni’s from that area fighting for the Free Syrian Army but the Shiite gov’t in Baghdad is allowing Iranian overflights into Syria.
