While I agree with most of the arguments supporting the silliness of
a V-like visit to Earth, one argument needs to be stepped on.  The
disadvantage of fighting the locals would be negligible for a race
crossing between stars.  A couple of you seem to havegotten caught
believing a man on horseback would live 20 seconds while being
chased by an armed attack craft.  No advanced race could possibly
have such dismal weapons.  Nor would they manage n invasion so
pitifully.  Diana really must be in charge for political reasons.
