I have to agree with you. While I certainly think that Kiritsugu's wish is well-intentioned, I don't know if he's really thought this through. The potential of his wish pretty much
destroying human free will is very real.
Achieving world peace and a non-violent world through some combination of diplomacy and leading more people into
freely choosing to adopt a more pacifistic philosophy would be one thing, but achieving that essentially through
magic is another thing.
As vile a human being as Kirei obviously is, he's right on this particular point. Kiritsugu's desired wish is a real threat to free will, and possibly even our very sense of humanity itself.
If this Grail War was going on in the real world, I'd probably be rooting for Kariya/Berserker (if that's still an option; if not, I might have to pinch my nose
really hard and root for Kirei of all people). As much as I like Saber and Waver/Rider, the desired wishes of Rider and Kiritsugu might be dangerous for us all.
