Seriously..
You need to meditate and hope you can stop humans being the stupid, murdering, destructive things they are..
You wish is parallel to those that wish God would come here and help, as far as we know for sure neither actually exist although I'd put money on the aliens being the most likely. Man destroys, he does this exceptionally well, as we know its easier to destroy than to fix and we as a race have pretty much devastated a massive chunk of this rock we call home.
At no time when there's been huge loss of life has ANYONE stepped in to help.
As I've said time and time again, I'd love to meet a good alien that wanted to help but if these beings do exist I think they would be best leaving us alone before we taint their ways. Lets imagine ET turns up and fixes loads of things, how long after they appear do you think it would take fearful people to attack them, some religious idiots to also attack them for being blasphemous to their shallow ideals, some military to try and grab some tech etc etc etc
Man is his own worst enemy, what right do we have for someone to bail us out for centuries of abusing each other and the planet.......

The problem is not the call for help to ET (or god, or superman, or whatever) the problem appears when people think that calling for ET's help is all they have to do to make the world better.
but to not act is in defencable in the face of the japan situation

At certain stages of evolution, cosmic "humanities" discover new forms of science beyond the apparent control of matter - structured dematerialization and materialization at the cost of hazardous compromises that remain purposely hidden from you by some of your representatives.
The education of your children and your living conditions, as well as the conditions of numerous animals and much plant life are nevertheless under the thumb of a small number of your political, financial, military and religious representatives.
Your thoughts and beliefs are modeled after partisan interests to turn you into slaves while at the same time giving you the feeling that you are in total control of your destiny which in essence is the reality.

So, where does an ET civilization enters that "equation"?
Why do we need any ETs for that?
