The Thalmor dislike the Empire, and appreciate the Stormcloak rebellion , because it weakens the Empire. I personally like the Empire, due to the fact that the Empire would be a stronger faction to face the dominion. Yes, they lost the first Great War, but the Empire would stand a better chance if Skyrim was united with it in the second war. (Possible future DLC?) If you pay attention closely when your on the Stormcloak side, you may hear a few soilders complaining about being short on supplies, or complaining that isn't any good food. Yes, you may say, that the Empire tried to execute you. But why was that execution happening? Yes, because of the rebellion. Also, if the Imperials hadn't tried to execute you, in turn, you wouldn't have found out that you're the Dragonborn. So, technically, the Imperial saved the world.
