The researcher has attempted to shed light on the war and its impact on the Iraqi and the American societies from the cultural and the social areas. The participants in the conference praised the points of views dealt with in this research that contributed in informing the academics and the artists from various world universities on the ability of the Iraqi playwright when he describes his society through art and displaying the suffering of the citizen who faces the devastating wars of the former regime.
