Although Ulfric seems an honorable man, I have no respect for him. First, Is he totally justified in killing Torygg? Fair combat or not, did he really need to kill the high king to prove his point? Furthermore, If he hates the Thalmor so much why is he not attacking THEM instead of instigating a war  with the Empire? If Ulfric really wanted to fight for his people, why did he not do EXACTLY what Hammerfell did, and just keep attacking the Thalmor while the Empire tries to break the shackles of WGC, with only the Dominion losing lives?

Quoting Jarl Balgruuf, the Nords MADE the Empire. "But the Empire I used to know is the one I can worship whoever I want". Man, you can't strip the claws from a cat and then say you'll help it once it's back to the way it was. Skyrim needs the Empire just as much as the Empire needs Skyrim, and even if some Nords hate the Empire, and what it's currently become, the better option is to swallow the pride for now so they can all fight the Dominion, in full force. After that, the Nords are free to worship even a polka dot unicorn.
