Aaand we\'re back to \'\'Aang\'\' needing to strike a balance where the Fire Nation can do as they like. Hell, why did the Invasion fail at all, when the one who (metaphorically) made the decree granting the Fire Lord\'s authority was invoking his right to revoke it? When will we get around to the key to the Fire Nation\' lethality; loyalty is one-way? The people of the Fire Nation are loyal to the great names. The Great Names are \'\'not\'\' loyal to their people(as in though some care about them, they are not punished for betraying them), and the people\'s only recourse is the extinct-in-the-wild fire healers.

In comparison the Dai Li suffered \\\'\\\'nothing\\\'\\\' for letting the Fire Nation take Ba Sing Se - hell, they treated Azula as their leader! That I can understand due to: \\\"We give up \\\'\\\'everything\\\'\\\' for our city. Can\\\'t it give us something back?\\\" They only got hit by \\\"duty sickness\\\" when they released spirits in an attempt to \\\'\\\'drive them out of the city\\\'\\\'. So Earth only gets hit when they try to blatantly break contracts - if one of the parties squirms through a loophole, the other guy can walk - like the Dai Li did from Long Feng to Azula. That\\\'s why Toph agreed with Zuko that Aang had no right to escape Zuko\\\'s custody back in \\\"The Avatar Returns\\\" - loopholes = bad. No exceptions. It\\\'s harsh, but somewhat balanced.
Half a moment... Water and Air binding isn\\\'t explored to the extent that Earth is(even by example), let alone Fire. They just see a contradiction in their lives and \\\'\\\'collapse.\\\'\\\' Is Earth the anomaly, and the entire world is \\\'\\\'supposed\\\'\\\' to run on {{Explosive Leash}}es?
