But it has never been said they don't. :P

One thing you don't seem to understand is that the Thalmor are simply agents of the Dominion, we have never seen an extensive Dominion military presence, just some agents that are around to enforce the law. Also, here:http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:J'datharr. Just proved you wrong.

Yes, they were separate races, but they were significantly fewer in number, the Falmer were a society that depending on your view saw the Nords as an aggressive expanding race that were using up resources at an alarming rate, this would make me suspect that they were a small isolated society, same could be said for the Aylieds(spelled wrong, I know), White-Gold tower aside they lived in small underground cities. Another thing to keep in mind is that in both cases the Nords were prepared and at "full" strength, not like today, were they are significantly weaker and the fact that the Dominion was able to go toe to toe with the Empire (Which had Redguards and Nords B.T.W.) and win half of the time.

Yes, the Dominion wanted Hammerfell in the White-Gold Concordant and tried to take it by force when Hammerfell seceded and failed but do keep in mind that it was never said that the Dominion came in full force(remember, this is right after the Great War, and that Hammerfell was likely giving its all), but you seem to forget that the Dominion kept it up for five years, AND caused a lot of damage to the country both in terms of lives and general property. You try and make it out like the Redguards had an easy flawless victory, when it took them a lot of blood, sweat and tears against a portion of the Dominion, and the fact that it was a portion of the Dominion's forces that it is ambiguous at best just how much they wanted it. And look at it this way, doesn't it sound like typical Dominion manipulation to lose a war and make it look like they aren't so bad? IDK, I see the Dominion as the mastermind behind everything going on and at the moment if lore is true, I might as well join them considering I'm an Altmer and as such a Divine trapped in Mundus by Lorkhan.
