Also, from where I stand neither the Dominion or the Empire could have kept fighting near the end of the Great War, both sides had run out of steam and neither could really keep fighting and after the sacking of the Imperial City I'm sure everyone was sick of fighting. Though this doesn't excuse the fact that Titus Mede could have negotiated better terms.

Also, Ulfric doesn't kill the Jarls to make a more powerful message, I thought nearly everyone knew that. And you're not a Forsworn sympathizer? I mean, the Forsworn are little more than organized bandits, but are you telling me you don't feel sorry for the Reachmen? I mean, the Nords came in and forcefully took over their land and started treating them like crap,  and today nearly all of them are being forced to work in terrible conditions were they get beaten if they make one mistake, and any landowning Reachmen are being muscled out by the Silver-Bloods, and then there's the fact that siding with the Stormcloaks puts one in charge, nuff said. And don't you find the circumstances of the Markarth Uprising a bit strange? Because multiple people will say both the Empire and to a lesser extent the Dominion turned a blind eye for the most part towards the worship of Talos, and then Ulfric and his merry band of misfits just conveniently happen to show up during the Uprising demand the ability to worship Talos publicly in exchange for their service which the Jarl short-sightedly granted and after the Uprising( which is more justified in my eyes than the Stormcloak rebellion) mess was taken care of the Dominion also conveniently shows up to remind them that stuff is still illegal which the Empire being the suck-up it is then arrested him also conveniently seeds the brewing unrest in Skyrim. This suspicious chain of events coupled with the facts that Ulfric unwittingly or not worked for the Dominion, in addition that they want the war ongoing, Ulfric started this war, and that he is a quote "Dormant asset" makes me see this war and all the stuff around it due to the Dominion's behind the scenes manipulation as evidence of just how dangerous the Dominion is, after all, why fight when your enemies can do it for you?
