While I understand the paranoia to a point, that's no reason to refuse the help of people that every nation in the world knows abandon their lives and any personal privilegies to fight the Darkspawn, so they would gain nothing from even trying to conquest Ferelden again other than worldwide mistrust, and they are not stupid.

Plus, he almost doomed Ferelden, what with causing a civil war, putting someone like Howe in a position of power in the most important Fereldan city, and ignoring entirely the Darkspawn that he saw how their numbers surpassed the ten thousands.
