re: What is the opposite of peace?
It depends on how you define "peace".
There are some who would argue that the American south was very "peaceful" before the Civil War. Others would argue that accepting slavery is anything but "peaceful", no matter how many lives are spared and how many bloody battles are avoided.
There are some forms of "peace" that are simply unacceptable to most people when they are really pressed to truely define "Peace". that is because "Peace" itself is not a justifiable end.
