*Aang thought he was faced with two ways to maintain world peace and balance: create a world where all elements live together or keep each of them apart. However, the only option that is actually feasible is the former, because Aang apparently forgot that he is the LAST AIRBENDER! Should he decided to choose the latter option and followed it rigidly, he would leave no descendants behind, resulting in the extinction of airbenders that would permanently damage the balance of the world. In other words, while he might be able to maintain world balance during his reign, the balance would die with him. Thankfully, he made the right choice in the end.

*** To be fair to Roku, Sozin made some pretty clear comments about expanding his Empire, so Republic City isn't ''quite'' what he had in mind. That stated, it does seem closer to his original intent than a hundred year war to conquer everybody, so Roku can arguably be blamed for making a bad situation worse.

* While the scene with fire barrier of the rival Kunyo firebending school's students succeeding only in warming the metal coins Toph's metalbending students shoot at them, making said coins more dangerous to the firebenders than to the metalbenders, is pretty awesome, it does bring up a perfectly good reason why firearms seem conspicuously absent in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' even though the technology level could easily support it (even Sokka had gunpowder in one of the original series episodes). They would be serious GameBreakers {{Game Breaker}}s against benders. Fire barriers would do nothing to stop metal bullets screaming in at near-sonic or supersonic speeds. Water and earth would fare better, but only up to a point. Scale a gun up, and you get artillery. At some point, any barrier can and will succumb to raw kinetic force, never mind the concussive force of an artillery blast alone, which can kill purely thtrough through shock trauma.
