Why there? Personally I believe they'll land at an open air techno
party. Much cooler sound and light effects for it.

But the Aliens have learned all our languages from radio broadcasts 
(think about that for one short minute) and realize that the center of
World Power is Washington D.C.. Where else would you land and say -- 
teke me to  your leader?

Gort, deklaatu broscoh! Beringa!


Wrong, They'll land in Brussels near the Atomium and ask to take them to 
Silvio Berlusconi. Can you imagine that? He'll probably insult them by 
saying they'd better play in a movie about an interstellar holocaust :-*

Or they'll land in Beijing, in the capital of the country with the most 
inhabitants?

Or on the Red Square in Moscow, capital of the country with the largest 
surface?

Or in Singapore, most inhabitant per square km? (uhhh... could also be 
Hong Kong or Japan or Holland, but you get the picture. Imagine, 
Balkenende also known as the Dutch Harry Potter representing the world)

Who knows what priorities They'll have!
