Because generally there isn't. His group, Cerberus, is a terrorist group. Not representative of humanity at large. Long story about what they did. Let me try to condense it.

Got a species called reapers back home. Every 50 thousand years or so, they return to our galaxy and harvest spaceflight-capable species.

Living captives get indoctrinated, brainwashed into empty shells of themselves who serve only to follow reaper orders. The process can be fast or slow, depending on how it's done.

The dead get turned into genetic matter to build more reaper ships. Each reaper ship is a species that got wiped out millions of years ago. And anything the indoctrinated know, the reapers know.

Cerberus decided it wanted troops like that. Unresponsive to pain, mindless, always under control. And they wound up indoctrinating themselves in the process.

Nearly done with the history lesson, sorry. Previous cycles were building a weapon to destroy the reapers, never finishing it in time. We found out where info on the last piece we needed was. Went.

An indoctrinated Kai Leng was there. He's probably in the early stages of indoc. already. We had to fight him and the reaper forces swarming the planet: former humans, turians, asari, etc.

Cerberus, and the reapers, got the info. And the world. Liara's homeworld fell to the reapers that day. And they also grabbed the last piece and stationed it above Earth, before reinforcing there.

There's plenty more that they've done that's sabotaged everyone's chances of survival. But that's what could end our hopes, right there.
