I do, sure. I even see them building structures, etc, and I relate to that. Doesn't stop me from annihilating them - but if I tooled in my microscope and found a tiny microbial bicycle...yeah, I'd give them a little more thought (before annihilating them). I think the relationship of ourselves to bacteria doesn't really address what we're talking about. We'd both (in the case of another tech species, however advanced) be tinkerers, the builders of things. Hopefully said tinkerers aren't as aggressive as myself or yourself.
How would you feel about bacteria that built a handaxe?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
