Because Aang and his friends would likely just stand aside and allow a genocide to happen. Amiright? Considering the fact you are also invading another nation that simply wants peace you would be invoking a similar feeling to that of what the Fire Nation had been doing. The Avatar would obviously get involved and would join the Fire Nation, the now peaceful nation being assaulted by an evil foreign power. Since the Avatar a the time, Aaang was well liked and respected by nearly EVERY other nation, including several other Earth Bending rulers, they'd join his side. The overwhealming forces against you would put down your army, most of which probably would be filled of people who just want to go home to their families and would be demoralized by the sheer volume of enemies arrayed against them and the fact that the Avatar who freed the world from tyranny is now against them. You would get mass desertion. Eventually you would be defeated and either executed or locked in jail for life and everything goes back to peace.

It turns out Genocides tend to piss people off, who knew?
