Just to put a little faith in Denthor, i think perhaps things could have been much better, had the Battle ended Denethor lived. There isnt much hope that he would have snapped out of it, but with such bold counsilors as Gandalf and Imrahil and his son, perhaps he could have been persuaded. You have to give him a bit of slack, though. It was natural to distrust some ranger he had never met in true guise that had, from his point of veiw usurped the love of his father and his people. Maybe he could have seen the light, though, had Aragorn revealed his true glory as he did with Eomer. perhaps he would have rallied behind Aragorn in the end...
