First of all, the REAL enemy is the Thalmor. The Empire & Stormcloaks destroying each other is exactle what the golden-skinned devils wanted.

Second, have they become so blind of their hatred that they forgot who is really the true enemy?

My solution is why not the Empire & Stormcloaks join forces to destroy the Thalmor completely?

After destroying the Dominion for good, the Empire should grant Skyrim their independence.

That's the closest solution I possibly know. Any thoughts? That's exactly what the Stormcloaks would prefer, instead the Imperials are fighting the Stormcloaks because they don't want the stormcloaks to fight the Thalmor, and other stuff, but that's really the main cause of the civil war.
