They should not because during that time period the way everyone's country made their money was by conquering other people and taking their stuff. That is why it is called an empire. The Spanish and others who came over were doing the same thing the Aztecs/Incans/etc. did themselves: conquer. The whole killed 90% of the population via disease thing was unintentional. The spread of small pox was actually spread by the pigs they brought over because we know they carry disease and reproduce like crazy. Overall they are not criminals because they are just doing the same thing they were doing amongst themselves.

At the time, what they were doing wasn't considered 'crime' it was considered conquest.

I also had to say, just for the sheer irony of it all, I agree with God.
