Personally, I think if there is an advanced intelligence out there, extraterrestrial or otherwise, it can think of far more subtle and effective ways to dominate us. Going in guns blazing and galvanizing the population against "the enemy" is just such a primitive way of doing things. It would be far easier to remain in the shadows and manipulate us through our technology or culture, or both, than it would be to carry out some kind of mass military invasion.
