The air nomads dying because Aang ran away implied that 1 element Aang could defeat the comet amped fire nation army. Even with the avatar state, that's not going to be easy, and the avatar state does not make aang invincible. Taking on an army of amped fire bender might yield high casualty for the opposition, but one good hit would end the cycle right there.
I think if Aang didn't run away, he would still have to flee when the attack happens. Staying to fight is not only foolish, but probably what Sozin counts on.
