Question If "Alien Beings" Visited earth, which government would you want them to meet first?

I'm curious as to which government would the internet infidels members prefer "alien beings" to have first contact with and why.

I think it would be an interesting way to gauge peoples views on the worlds many governments.

I guess I should add, that the aliens are not the issue, its peoples perceptions of governments.

the OP hasn't specified what kind of aliens these are.

Will they happpily eat humans, for example ?
Exude goo over everything ?

All depends on the answer.

One would think that if they could cross instellar space that they wouldn't have a need to "eat" us. Most of those movies where they invaded for a new food source, or our women for breeding were from a time which knew nothing of genetic engineering and other such technologies.

And what if they are missionaries coming here to convert us barely sentient beings to the "true" religion?

Unless they were malevolent I would want them to visit the U.N. first, see everybody at once.

If they were the rectal-probing or carnivorous kind, then I'd want them to visit the White House first.
