Real Life Situation- Military Strike

I will create my own real life situation and apply the ladder of abstraction to reach a good Knowledge Question on it.

Real Life Situation: The United States of America and several other western powers want to carry out a military strike on Syria after the suspected use of chemical weapons by the government forces.

Poor Knowledge Question- Is a military strike necessary in Syria?
Intermediate Knowledge Question- Can empirical knowledge justify the reason to attack Syria?
Good Knowledge Question- To what extent can one interfere with the rights of another over inadequate knowledge or evidence?

  1. You're on the right track Nathan. You need to reformulate your question so that it is a question about knowledge and not about intervention.
