I'm not so sure.

If you were highly advanced lifeforms, wouldn't you seek out the leaders or the strongest nations? If they were advanced, like we were, then I think you're right. But I don't think a civilization at our point would find other planets with lifeforms. I think that if a species is as developed as it takes to find lifeforms on other planets then you'd be advanced enough to find the strongest / smartest nations.

That would be like seeking out the king of the rat colony.   I think they'd be advanced enough to avoid everyone down here, and treat the earth like a zoo.  

There's no reason for them to contact us.  We have nothing to offer them.

I think that's why we only see them occasionally, when one of them gets careless and gets spotted.  Then they haul [BLEEP] out of here, because they don't want anything to do with us.
