Technically he was wrong. Sozin was a bender who started the war, but bending had nothing to do with it, at all. Sozin started the war because he was a political tyrant who wanted to expand his nation, he stated himself that he wanted to expand his nation farther. Like someone else said, the village war predated earthbending. And technically it wasn't a war but kyoshi's conflict with her political leader was because of his politcal tyranny, not his bending ability. Also earth king was a nonbender who sent his army after the fire nation and refused to talk things out with zuko, all due to his lack of support for withdrawing fire colonies.

All wars thus far have had little to nothing to do with bending at all. It's all been political.
