Except for the tension left over from the war, the fact that King Kuei launched an attack on Yu Dao, and so on and so forth. Its been over 60 years and tensions and world wars almost broke out twice. The creation of Republic City was a compromise in order to avoid yet another war. Zuko, for all of his peacemaking has to have been acutely aware that his world has been on the brink of war since the fall of his father. The only way to end that tension is to remove the source of all wars in their history: benders.

Is it radical? Yes, it is, but given his life and the struggles he has had to endure, it is a reasonable conclusion to make.

Also his comment, "Dont underestimate the Avatar." indicates previous experience with dealing with a crafty Avatar prone to escape. Aang escaped from Zuko multiple times, and Amon seemed to be making precautions against another Avatar's escape, once again, previous experience.
