To be honest, I've never really understood the immense hate for Alistair during the Landsmeet. Granted, I never romanced the guy, but my Wardens were almost always bbf's with him, and my canon play-through is one where my Warden recruited Loghain and stuck Alistair and Anora on the throne to joint rule.
Alistair's reaction to me was very... real. Let's face it, there are some things you just can't 'talk' people out of. In Alistair's case, he was far too hysterical to see 'reason' during the Landsmeet, but he does comes around eventually. Albeit, too late to make an impact on the Blight, but it's hard to gauge how long it 'should' take someone to get over the deaths of his brothers and sisters in arms.
At least in my end game, Alistair apologized for breaking down. Don't remember his exact words, but he pretty much admitted that he was having 'issues' and that he still wanted to be friends, if at all possible.
PS: ANDERS ANDERS ANDERS.
Truly? That's good.
I never hated Alistair for the Landsmeet, because I know that in his shoes I'd throw a hissy fit, too.
To be honest, I recruited Loghain a grand total of once, and with Alistair in the state he was in, it would have been OOC for Sa'eria (Mahariel) to allow him to become king, even alongside Anora.
Of course, she'd never become Alistair's mistress, either, since the Dalish are painfully prideful.
And my fem!Tabris... well... was a murdering psycho.
I actually had a daydream once which lead me to the conclusion that Kendra was the inspiration for the Chantry "accident."
Everybody: You cant leave Amaranthine to burn!
Kendra: There is no comprimise over this. I made up my mind.
Everybody: But-
Amaranthine: BOOM
K: See? There is no city, no source of comprimise. I removed it, because there is no comprimise with me. Now let's go kill things!!!

Nate: F%@#(*)!?!
