lone Khajiit
To be completely honest both sides are corrupt i say bethseda should include a Khajit alliance where a band of Khajits can interrupt the civil war at various times.

Imperials. Stormcloaks are too short sighted and racist. If they force everyone but Nords out and become independent from the empire, they're that much easier for the Thalmor to conquer. The Empire does kiss too much elf ass, but only because it became a necessity to end the war and they're not strong enough to fight back again (yet). If Skyrim secedes from the Empire, it makes everyone weaker and there's less of a chance anyone will be able to stand up to the Thalmor.
Stormcloaks are more prideful than logical and fail to see that the strength in unity under the empire is the best chance of resisting a common enemy in the Thalmor. All brawn and no brain.
The sacking of whiterun is the sole reason i go stormcloak all the time.... defending Whiterun is just so lame, the 'cloaks never got past the first barricade...
I wouldn't say that both are corrupted. Both are filled up with rage at each other that it blocks both of their judgement. I can understand Ulfics reasons for starting the civil war, but his approach are wrong. The empire is not the primary enemy therefor his primary objective should be the Thalmor.
If sided with the stormcloaks Ralof would occasionally ask the player "Ever wonder if maybe we should call a truce with the imperials and join forces for just a little while take care of some of these dragons?"
Let me correct his sentence. "Ever wonder if maybe we should call a truce with the imperials and join forces for just a little while take care of the Thalmor?
Stormcloaks, Imperial legion and the Dragonborn vs Aldmeri Dominion (Thalmor) I would almost guarantee you that the Thalmor would be crushed down. Once they're defeated the Empire can then give free worship of talos to the people in skyrim and other countries that practices Talos worshipping.
I like how you assume that the Thalmor on the sumerset isles would sit by and let the stormcloaks and imperials wipe out those in Skyrim. I think the Empire is too scared of another war with the Thalmor, which is one of the reasons they're in Skyrim. (The last two sentences are just opinion, not actual fact.)
