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. The majority of the audience are adults too (with a brain). To be frank with you, the theme of this particular manga centers around philosophy and psychology...in case you didn't pay attention!

Great point.
