For God's sake people, this is aimed for teenagers, not philosophers nor psychologists. Kishi just tried to developed another type of villain, one with feelings, regrets, doubts... much like any human.

As for Obito's reasoning, (I know this is fiction but) do not underestimate humans' stupidity, that is a common mistake. Love is one of the strongest energies going around in the world, love makes people behave stupidly basically everyday (look around if you don't believe me). A war because of love? Looking at humans' history and every day's actions... Yep, it is perfectly possible.
