英国议会在2013年投票反对参与任何因其公然罔闻不要在内战中使用化学武器的警告而惩罚叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德的军事行动，这显然与伊拉克的军事干预是一场失败的观点有关。
The British parliamentary vote in 2013 against participation in any military effort to penalize Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for defying explicit warnings not to use chemical weapons in his country’s civil war was surely related to the view that military intervention in Iraq had been a mistake.
