I'm a newbie. Greetings to all the AMD Users! :)

They wouldn't. If they are more advanced than us then they must be more conscious and intelligent. Only the primitive living beings need to fight each others and make wars to show their point, like ourselves humans.

Unless of course you I mean they wanted our valuable resources.

Yes these aliens might hate other aliens and want to wipe us out... But then again... they might offer answers to all our problems!
Besides... would you want the russians getting alien friends before the U.S.?

We'd be a curiosity to them.
Poke the animal and see what it does.
It's cheaper to mine asteroids.
New tourist attraction.
Slave labor.
Vacation home.
We have nothing they want.
Replacement parts (if they'er humanoid).
Anthropoligy lesson.
Biological diversity for new drugs/cures, get it before the primitives ruin it.

Just a couple quick thoughts off the top of my head.
