I think its safe to say based off your ideas life can't be put in black and white quite so easily (even though I disagree), good and evil can. If I supress you and give you just the basic rights such as food, water, and air, but suspend your movement to just a 1k sq room; are you still free? If I don't bother you for the rest of your life and let you live in peace, then do you have freedom? These are the first steps towards peace. But if yours foundation of freedom is built on limitations what good does peace do for anyone. Who is to say the Iraqis didn't have peace in their lives under Saddam? Some might have said they were, but when your foundation of peace is build off a shakey begining you can only go so far before it will fall and crumble from under you.

Again the issue is relative. Your freedom or peace may be different than the mass majority of a culture or class of people. This is something to keep in mind.
