This looks like I can answer with my cell phone keyboard!  (On a side note, please forgive my more numerous than usual spelling mistakes in this.  I don't have spellcheck on my phone, and my spelling is lamentable at the best of times.)

Give me a character and I'll tell you a piece of my personal headcanon. Any fandom is welcome here, provided that I am reasonably familiar with it.

Sozin honestly did believe what he was doing was right. He had a kind of arrogance you see in a lot of people who had to work a little bit but had a generally easy road to sucess that made him think he had all the answers, and he had found the right way of doing things, not only for himself, but for everyone, and if everybody else wasn't as successful as him (or the Fire Nation more generally) it was their own stupid fault, and they should be grateful to him for teaching them better... through conquest, naturally. He was an Amon more than an Ozai. Hisintentions were good, but his methods were vile.

You know, this completely matches my headcanon for Sozin. From what I gather, even a 100 years ago, the Fire Nation was the most technologically advanced and no doubt wealthy as well from their trade in spices and metalworking. That would have DEFINITELY contributed to Sozin's belief that the Fire Nation was the superior nation.

Yes, exactly, in fact, i think the Fire Nation's greater technological prowess and prosparity at the time is canon. I'm sure I remember that from "The Avatar and the Firelord"... The fact that he was absolutely wrong didn't mean he wasn't oing what he thought was best.

Yeah, and I bet he was so surprised and upset when his BFF didn't agree with him at all.
