There quite different scenarios though. We never saw WMD's or saw them used. Iraq had show no agression to the western world especially compared to some other countries - and yet we believed the lies. In this case we know for a fact Syria had chemical weapons because they agreed to decommission them. We've seen evidence of several chemical attacks on Syrian people. There's been a civil war going on for 7 years. The only question remaining is who launched the chemical attacks? Given the horrors that have been happening over there and the reluctance of any western nation to get involved I think that, although the public should remain vigilant when it comes to evidence for going to war, this situation is very very different to Iraq.
