"Take me to your leader"

Let's say we have a landing from Alpha Centauri and they say "Take me to your leader", and we take them to GWBush. What kind of an impression would they have?

If they understood our world affairs, would they be pleased with his invasion and take over of a middle eastern country for it's oil while we spend a good portion of our country's wealth on doing so? Would they agree that it was allright to break international treaties of non-interference to invade..........because (hypothetically) the leader and his some cabinet were involved in the oil and "defense" industries. They saw it as securing the nation for future years, but thought perhaps the Iraqis would enjoy "freedom and democracy" in return for them taking over the oil fields (before say.....Russia or China actually PAID for it, in contracts.)

How would they feel about those who decried these policies and wars of agression in particular?
How would they see this planet? As a warlike one? As a sustainable one?
As one where the communities should get together to intelligently discuss how to protect their species?
Are some species worth less than the others, such as those from the Middle East?
And how would they view the peacemakers versus the warriors?

Would they do to us what we do to other lesser species?
Would they give us the Final Weapon to eradicate those species once and for all?
Would they suggest we make peace with our neighbours and how would they suggest we do it?
Would they accuse the peace-makers as having "hate orgasms" and how would they deal with them?

Enquiring minds want to know.
