War "on" or "against" Iraq? Or "for" Iraq?

And "Freedom for Palistine"? What about Freedom for Syria? Or Eithiopia? Christopher Hitchens explains his view that the left has become apologists for the worst regimes in the world, and fierce opponents of those who oppose these regimes:
Once you decide that American-led “globalisation” is the main enemy, then any revolt against it is better than none at all. In some way yet to be determined, Al-Qaeda might be able to help to stave off global warming. (I have not yet checked to see how this is squared with Bin Laden’s diatribe of last weekend, summoning all holy warrior aid to the genocidal rulers of Sudan as they complete the murder of African Muslims, and as they sell all their oil to China to create a whole new system of carbon emissions in Asia. At first sight, it looks like blood for oil to me.)
