1. Rikke makes a far superior Thrall to Ulfric or Galmar. She has an extremely large Health Pool, and a unique fighting style.
2. Tullius has no Political ties and pull, He is just a competent General that follows Orders.
3. The Emporer has too many Political Weaknesses, He has been targeted by Members of the Elder Council as a Target by the Dark Brotherhood for execution.
4. Many of the People like Myself, and probably Cecliff2 feel the Elder Council has become corrupted by Thalmor influence, and would not act until the Thalmor have already done someting like destroying Adamantine Tower, if at all. The Great War "ended" twenty years before the events in Skyrim.
EDIT My actual biggest regret is Rikke not surviving the Stormcloak side of the Civil War. Most of My characters do not have an Army of Thralls stored in a basemant. Forgetting to make a Hard Save during Marathon playthroughs is My second biggest regret.
