 I wonder whether this sentence is  "If only"?

"If men were only more reasonable, there would be no more war."

"If only men were more reasonable, there would be no more war."

Thanks.

Either form is correct.  There is no requirement that 'only' be placed immediately after 'if', it that's what you're asking.
