Well, Wardens are sworn to stop darkspawn wherever they are, and a Blight is something every Warden is going to want to stop. While Alistair and the Warden don't know the details, they do know only Wardens can stop the Blight. Leaving Ferelden to the Blight is definitely betraying the country.
Not neccessaily. The blight threatens the world not JUST Ferelden. I forget where I saw it, but it was suggested even Duncan would have left to join up with the Orlesian Wardens and prepare to fight it when it reached that far rather than rush to save one country, especially when that country was so busy fighting amongst itself. I know I read it in Lady D's fic, but it was mentioned somewhere else. The Wardens themselves are not a Ferelden order. They have a contingent there (Or had) just like they do in Orlais and the Anderfels. If Duncan had lived, and it was you and him, and he said "We can do nothing here, let's join up with our forces and be ready elsewhere" would HE have been betraying Ferelden?" No. Alistair puts his foot down, and leaves the order. He may be seen as betraying you, he may be seen as betraying the wardens, but not Ferelden as a whole.
