Sorry shi len but I am afraid that I am going to have to disagree with you as well. I think Iroh was at least as powerful than Ozai if not more so. I suppose in a way this debate depends on your definition of power though. Those of us who are arguing against you tend to think that a show of restraint is a greater display of power (especially concerning fire-bending) than just spamming pyro blasts.

As for the walls of Ba Sing Se, keep in mind that Azula had far superior technology than Iroh had at the time. I mean really? It's a giant drill. If the technology wasn't brand spank-en new the fire nation probably would have used it before.

On Iroh's lack of action when Ozai attacked Zuko, you understand that despite how Iroh treats Zuko as a son later in the series this may not have always been the case. During Zuko's exile he and Iroh had a lot of time to interact, but before that he seemed to be occupied with the war and probably didn't feel very stongly for Zuko. Also you claim that when Zuko thought his Uncle to be a match for Ozai that it was purly opinion based and completly unfounded, but seeing as Ozai is his father I think that Zuko would be a pretty good judge of who and who couldn't take him on.

Lastly you claim Jong Jong to be superior? Where did you get that from. If your going to claim that Iroh's attacks were unimpressive then one could easily say that Jong Jong' s were not much better if not less impressive. Not only that, but Iroh was shown to be a Grand Lotis, superior to Jong Jong's rank.
