I myself would like to believe there are other intelligent lifeforms out there :p. Sadly I doubt I'll ever see aliens at least within my lifetime.
Ideally I'd want a Star Trek-ish future if ever we do come into contact with aliens, where peaceful co-existence maters much more than conflict or war. Conflicts may arise at some point, but at least they can be resolved diplomatically. District 9 though, shows more of the ugly side of humanity when faced with extraterrestrials, especially if we perceive them as lower or sub-human, that's why the film asks serious questions on how humanity may react to such a milestone event in our history.
