"Into the heart he thrusts his sword, into the heart, to hold their hearts. Who draws it out shall follow after. What hand can grasp that fearful blade?"

This was mentioned before he did it I think, it was mentioned in passing by someone in an earlier book who was explaining about parts of the Karaethon Cycle making no sense. So I think Jordan planned it from early on. I don't think there were any "cop outs".

Also, if he went to the Aiel with a SWORD, they might be a little peeved at their "He Who Comes With The Dawn" I'd love to see him convince the tribes that didn't want to go with him anyway he had their interests at heart when he uses a sword. The imaginary sword of fire he makes is probably bad enough, without a physical one showing at all times. He also knew their thoughts on swords before he left anyways. I know that if I intended to rule over a people I wouldn't want to spit in their beliefs until I knew they were completely mine, and even then I would try to avoid it.
