1.	Again, you fail to comprehend my point. Iroh has the luxury of not fighting at all, charging up his attack longer than any other firebender, and taking it out on a intimate object ( a wall), Which why his attack packed more punch. Also ozai burning down the Forrest is not his most impressive bending look at what he was doing fighting aang, emphasis on fighting. As for distances ozai wins look at his fight with aang dudes attack were more ranged and powerful with no charge up time. Clearly common sense states it’s harder to do something distracted than it is without it. 2.	Also your comparing to different objectives of bending ozai was trying to spread a wildfire, iroh was trying his hardest to bring down the wall just look at his expression while he was doing I guess he was tired after that and hid behind true masters during the real fighting. 3.	Exactly what confrontation did Iroh win? Just because iroh can’t do something doesn’t make it stupid at all. Jeong Jeong destroyed tons of tanks easily as it was best for him to fly at the present time and his maximum efficiency supports this. It was best for ozai to fly as well to negate aang’s mobility and apply pressure a lot quicker which was actually working well until the avatar state was activated. Again, iroh failed to pull of impressive bending with maximum efficiency like his counterparts. 4.	Also taking out imperial firebenders isn’t an impressive feat as sokka and toph were able to best them with the comet. Even early season two zuko took out quite of them with one effortless attack in the avatar state. 5.	Again you didn’t answer my question. If iroh were truly powerful and as smart as you say he is why couldn’t he defuse the ozai/zuko agni kai, why did he watch hopelessly as his nephew was abused in front of him, how come his greatest military accomplishment was easily surpassed by his 14 year old niece with less resources and the avatar constantly getting in her way? I’ll wait. 6.	As for mental toughness a lot of benders displayed that like bumi waiting for months on end to save his city while being held in a metal coffin, jeong jeong refusing to take the offensive and learning to fight defensively, etc. 7.	Point blank iroh is a great bender and an average leader but seems to get hyped up with less than respectable feats as a main character. I love the guy’s character but you can’t argue with facts and feats.
