Mostly wonderings about Avatar: The Last Airbender

Did the warriors on Kyoshi not have any -bending skills or were they not using them? Since 1. they've stayed out of the war 2. the way the Fire Nation seems to be acting, they'd probably have to work for that 'Lookit! We're completely not interested in fighting you! No, really, see the lack of warlike behaviour?' x.x 3. it seems like the War is being fought with -benders, therefore any action by such...

Which came out of the first wondering - how many -benders can there be? It seems like the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom (s ?) have more? But they have more land, too. The higher population has got to up the odds there...

Fire Nation seems to regard its Benders as warriors, and I'm wondering if they do anything else - I'd think that would be a useful thing for smithing, for instance? And we've seen at least the one city where Earth Benders can make a career out of that. All the Air Benders we've seen have been monks, but it just... doesn't seem likely that all the Air Benders ever born want to be monks, and besides - they were all men. What happens when a girl can Air Bend?

..was Kyoshi an Air Bender?

I give up, I need coffee.

Too sleepy. Too many shiny things lately that leave me dead.

However. Shaman King?
