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.

It's true this is aimed at teenagers, but all those who were teenagers when this manga started are now full-fledge adults, and it's not good for a writer to neglect a huge portion of his audience.

Obito's reasoning is not very odd, but read my post above to see the real problem with the villains in this story.
