Ya, DJ Chameleon. The U.N. has actually come out and accused Syrian rebels of using chemical weapons:

Oh snap. You mean has anyone substantiated reports that the Syrian Government used Chemical Weapons? No, because Rebel groups refuse to allow U.N. inspectors in.

Expect to see more chemical attacks happening because everyone's whining about "oh the west shouldn't get involved"

Not quite. Saddam Hussein made far more extensive use of gas against the Kurds in the 90s, and his usage of it in the Iran-Iraq War is certainly not forgotten either. Did the lack of response by the international community result in a surge of chemical warfare immediately following either example? No.
