Um, any race that would rather deal with the threat immediately, instead of waiting. I'd compare it to WWII and the United Sates, they didn't help until japan had made pudding out of our frigates.

It's likely that any other race went threw similer things in their history, and will realize what they need to do. If they don't, the races in Mass Effect are even dumber than I thought.
