why come?..nice

Anyway, I'm actually going to go back on my own previous explinations, now that I have considered things in a different light.

If you remember Zuko asked Katara if she wanted to help  him put Azula in her place. Considering Zuko's character by this point I don't believe that he went there to kill his sister, but he would have if it absolutely came to it. Azula though, wanted to kill him from the start.

Next talking point.

Iroh knows the sting of being infamous in history books, most likely he did not want Ozai's downfall as his last legacy. All though it would have been a reasonable solution at the time history usually dulls things down to black and white as time progresses. For example, the downfall of the Tsar's in Russia or any other of the 27 royal houses that fell during WW1.

(That last one was so freaking confusing to read)

Like I said, I no longer believe Zuko had the intension to kill his sister, but if it came down to it he would have. Zuko could not refuse to fight, Azula has every intesion to do whatever necessary to claim the throne. Refusing, would have been cowardice, and suicide.

You know Azula as well as I, she's not really a reasonable person when it come to real people, you either do what she says and asks or you end up humiliated, discraged or dead. Now add mounting mental illness and a total break down on to that, pleading would have done nothing, she would have laughed and shot him with lightning. Finally, it is common knowledge that egging on your opponant is a tool to help you win. If you piss off the person you are fighting, they stop thinking clearly which could lead to your success. Of course doing this just makes your opponant more dangerous, but come on this is Azula we are talking about.
