The reader asks the question, 'What is the objective of war if the innocent people are the ones who end up as victims?' According to the West, the objective of the war was to flush out the terrorists in Syria. Ironically, the war killed many innocent people whose livelihoods were destroyed. For instance, Nuri and his family are examples of people who had to run away from their country to seek asylum in the United Kingdom. During the war, innocent people were killed, including children like Sami. Therefore, the war on terrorism is a satire because it does not serve its objects. On the contrary, innocent people end up paying for the price of war.
