Its just a recurring problem in The ATLA universe, every time an Avatar refuses to kill someone it always creates problems for the next Avatar. Kyoshi, instead of killing the earth king, compromised with him and created the Dai li, which became a very corrupt organization, holding Ba Sing Se in tyranny for two generations. Roku refused to kill Sozin, and the world suffered a 100 year year war for his mercy. Aang refused to kill Ozai, and in "the Promise" he is manipulating Zuko from behind bars. It just seems the Avatar refuses to do what is necessary, but morally reprehensible, to keep the world in balance.
