Is there a ban on talking about the impending WW3 in Syria?

Have been reading quite a lot about this today and am frankly bemused at how Cameron and Hague are carrying on. I consider myself to traditionally be a Tory but would not vote for them again if they launch military strikes on Syria without UN approval.

What i find truly bizarre is we don;t even know who was responsible or what was used and the UK government is already seeking a resolution from the UN condemning the use of chemical weapons by Assad. Why are we so intent on driving this and what is so urgent that it can;t at least wait until the weapons inspectors have reported back? Truly bizarre and very worrying.
