I don't think this is going to happen in my lifetime, but perhaps someday it will.

Chloroform them all. When they wake up they would be in a sealed room to debate the issue with Rosie O'Donnell.

Honestly, if they could *get here* from their homeworld, then that rather means they have *way* better science and technology than we do, since we can't even imagine getting around that "speed of light" thing, right? o_o Think, they'd have to travel a minimum of *hundreds of light years* just to get here...so something about their science would have to be way better than ours for them to do it. They'd need longer lifespans, faster-than-light drives, something....
So I assume that if they wanted to kick our tails, they most likely could several times over. More to the point, their *children* could likely wage war against us and their *toys* could likely defeat the world, or at least destroy it.
Meaning, if they are leaving the world and its people intact, they have something other than all-out warfare in mind. On the positive side, they might be here to liberate the poorer, more desperate half of the human race....or at the very least, to keep things as regards Big Oil, Big Terror, and the CEOs from getting too much worse...
But on the negative side, they could be here to enslave us, take a few of us away as pets, eat us as a delicacy (with a whale as the main course!), or grow exotic drugs from our brains....we just don't know.
So I don't think the problem is going to be one of showing them our intelligence (or lack thereof) or our friendliness (or lack thereof)....since as they get closer they will be able to sample our TV, radio, and more recently our cell-phone signals. And it will be clear that large-scale resistance, as in warfare, will be futile....
So waging war as per your question isn't the concern.
Keeping ourselves alive and free is the concern.
To do that, I propose we do *more of* what we are doing now in popular culture, TV, movies, comic books: make geek culture mainstream and try to get as much *science fiction* out there into the popular culture as possible. That and make sure we have as much telephony and internet connection going on as possible, because the game is going to be about *figuring out* what they want from us....
And then spreading the word so we can *passively resist* by making ourselves unfit for the task. ^_^ In other words, if the aliens are looking for *supermodels*, we should get the word out and *eat like pigs*, shaving our heads too, you know, like Britney did. If they want prey, we get the word out, take to living underground, and eat as little as possible--if we are dealing with predators, we should be as scrawny and unhealthy looking as possible so we don't *look* like food.
And so it goes. ^_^ The idea is to figure out what "they want", get the word out and passively deny them that. After all, what's the worst they could do, nuke us? Lock us up in The Matrix?
Or maybe we'd just bore them silly and they'd move on. ^_~
Just my humble plug nickel. Hope this helps!

Seeing is believing and I live in the "Sho Me State" so I would have to see the proof first.

If they can get here from way out there..........they're probably too smart to wage war....it's we humans that are dangerous

I suppose - if you think hard and long enough about it - the best thing to do would be to kill the sods!
Especially if they don't have passports or American cigarettes!

I wouldn't do anything. Just move on and post my next question. I hope it will happen one day.
