Oxymoron
ox·y·mo·ron
Rhetoric.
a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “to make haste slowly.”

1) Free Trade (Thanks Alvin)
2) Deafening Silence (Thanks Myself)
3) Virtual Reality (Thanks Phua Chu Kang)
4) Falsely True
5) Truly False
6) Bloodless Coup (This one can?)
7) Silent War
Please help me out...
