Members of Parliament were not convinced by the latest call to War.
They voted 285 to 272 against another Middle East War.
David Cameron made the case for military action but accepted that there was no full evidence that Assad had used chemical weapons.
The Security Services released an intelligence briefingon the use of chemical weapons. It is convincing but there is too much history.
If this was 2002 immediate action would be supported. In a post Iraq War world, it is only too right to be sceptical. As it should have been in 2002.
