You know what the worst part is about the war in Iraq?
What?
All the returning soldiers who will force us to watch their one-man plays about their experiences.
I was going to say the quagmire we've created and all the dead and wounded it's caused, but I can see why your first instinct is its impact on the theatre.
"That's just a portion of the journal kept by openly gay lance corporal Jeff Key, a U.S. marine who served a tour of duty in Iraq in 2003. His written recollection has become the basis for a powerful one-man show, The Eyes of Babylon. In the show--running at the Tamarind Theatre in Los Angeles--Key veers from humor to tears to outrage in the blink of an eye."

I was watching the documentary on Jeff Key (including segments of his one-man show) when I came up with this comic. The documentary parts were good. The solo performance stuff...um...looked like a one-man show by an 30-something amateur gay marine actor.
