The Stormcloaks just want their home back. The Empire betrayed them after they bravely laid down their lives for the Empire time and time again (Nords in general).

I'm surprised the Emperor doesn't realize siding with the Stormcloaks to defeat the Thalmor IS the best option. Especially for a guy who so heroically took back the Imperial City from the Elves. True, but while being proud of ones heritage and patriotic towards their country (or province in this case) is definitely a good thing, I think the stormcloaks take it a bit too far It is hardly 'definitely a good thing', allegiance to one's patch of dirt has caused many problems in history. I am more inclined to agree with Einstein on the matter, being a human being first before any attatchment to state or race is far more beneficial, compassionate and cooperative.
