Well there in lies the problem! What Blade is trying to get across to everyone is that the Requiem is a work in progress and while war is pretty simple( kill,maim,destroy as many of "the enemy" as possible as well as destroylng their ability to fight),peace on the other hand is HARD! Yes you can maintain peace through force of arms but that is not freedom that is a military state or martial law like "Do as we say and the secret police won't come and take you away for reeducation". No they ( the OOBK,Nunally,or 'Zero')can't do that as that would be to much like the old Britainia. People for the most part would return to their old lives and daily routine, then one day a pirated radio or tv broadcast comes on during the regular news cast a figure dressed in an old Brit soliders uniform or a former noble says "Zero is a lie the, Requiem is a lie! We the veterans of the war of the Rebellion will show you the truth"! Now the powers that be and know the truth all collectively s**t themselves because what if someone beyond their influence DOES know the truth about Zero?!
In the end I say this:The TRUTH shall set you free! And until the Requiem and Zero is brought into 'The Light' it is all a LIE!

actually, this is not quite what i had in mind
they dont just come out on TV and declare it like that
the whole thing starts with a VERY big bang (a massive attack on tokyo) and the fact of WHY they did it isn't revealed until half way through the plot
the bad guy, makes it a POINT to keep their motives in the dark until he can get suzaku personally involved in the battle, because he wants to apply as much psychological warfare as possible against suzaku in an effort to break him mentally
Spoiler for plot:
up to about the half point, the characters are under the impression that these people are just power hungry or vindictive about the way the world is
they announce that they want "revenge on zero", so everyone assumes that they are britannian nationalists or (people, who dont know about geass) think that they are "Lelouch loyalists" (which makes it easier for suzaku to deal with them, and gather support from others)
and only THEN do the cast learn the truth
they dont want revenge on "zero", but rather, they want revenge on suzaku, and they dont want to avenge lelouch, but rather, to undo what he did to them
and this changes the entire tone of the plot, since
1)suzaku has to come to grips with the fact that they are RIGHT to oppose him, and that despite what he originally believed, he very may well be the bad guy after all
and this isn't made easier by knowing that he can end the entire conflict by simply exposing himself (but knowing that it would destory everything he was trying to achieve) and that until he does, every death that follows is on his hands
2)people who joined suzaku out of a belief that they are fighting the enemies of japan, and the enemies of peace, would have a MUCH harder time doing it when it becomes apparent that the whole thing is bullshit
and that they are really there to help suzaku cover up his own mess by helping him kill off his past victims
so you see
there IS going to be lots of action, and lots of drama
but, just like R2, half way through the plot, the characters aren't going to have much to smile about.
