Should May Have Sought Parliamentary Approval?
She has entirely lost my support - such as it was- and will not lose any sleep over that perhaps, but there seems to be gathering condemnation at home and abroad e.g.

Yes. I don't particularly care about the legal niceties. There was no urgency required in this action (if it was due to chemical weapons) except for the American timetable, and therefore she was morally obliged to consult parliament as Cameron did. I imagine, however, that she was concerned about losing the vote and also that the US has learned from last time...

They did wait for parliament in 2013. I suspect that's why they weren't keen to do so now.
Besides, if France and the USA are hell-bent on intervening then that is surely up to them. I'm still very confused as to why there was any urgency for the UK to make its irrelevant and pointless contribution to what looks increasingly like a Russian-American proxy war.

Spathi, there are (I can't remember how many) UK and US forces in Syria, mainly in places where IS is.
But there are, on the ground, exceptionally brave peopole from the WHO and an organisation called the White Helmets, who go around conflict sites logging evidence of war crimes, or simply just evidence of fighting, in all areas, not just those attacked by government forces. They have lost over 200 volunteers since the start of the war: they get attacked, mainly by Assad'sa forces, who not unnaturally hate the fact that someone is doing what they do.
So there are, actually, a lot of people on the ground there.
