If we had the technology to travel to other planets and knew for a fact that aliens existed, I could absolutely see certain factions of humanity advocating their complete annihilation. I see no reason to believe that other races may not be prepared to come to Earth guns blazing if they ever chose to. Assuming they're anything like us at least. And if they're truly alien to us then we really can't even conceive of what motives they may have in traveling the stars.
