a pimple on the left butt cheek of the Aldmeri Dominion that needs to be popped.

They will. This is a Bethesda game after all. To expect the bad guys to win in a Beth game is the height of naivety, something which I learned the hard way in Fallout 3.

Though I do like the thought that the Dominion would continue to exist even if the Thalmor are destroyed. Now then, then I would be willing to pit my support for the folks in Alinor.

Pssst, the Thalmor are the ruling party of the Aldmeri Dominion.

This.

In 4E 22 - Summerset Isle is renamed Alinor after the Thalmor seize total control.

In 4E 29 - A Thalmor backed coup overthrows the government of Valenwood. The Aldmeri Dominion is recreated by the union Alinor and Valenwood.

Somewhat more than a pimple....

we just need to kill the thalmor and be done with it

Agreed. Killing the Thalmor is like taking the fangs from a snake.

More like herpes

Couldn't agree more xD

this +1
.....i might start using ranged weapons for killing those damn elves now
