There is also the distinct possibility that he HAS tried diplomacy in the past, to no avail. It would be interesting if Amon is/was a councelman and has labored to increase non-bender standing in society in more diplomatic ways, but was always shut down due to benders having majority control over politics, leading him to the conclusion that diplomacy was a lost cause.

This is pure speculation, and Amon himself could very well be much simpler in motive and backstory than that, but the possibility is certainly there. So it's still too early to make absolute claims in that regard.
