can't judge past issues under today's moral standards. Pizzaro and Cortez did what was necessary and acceptable under the moral standards of the time. Same for the British, Attila, The Hun, the Portuguese and so on.

At a time where divine right was the rule, it would be very dangerous to say you were son of God. Jesus Christ said that. He was met with a normal reaction given the moral standards of that time.

Today we have different moral standards. To do any looting and killing you need a coalition and sanctioned by a U.N. I hope this ends the argumentation about past bad people. In the past there was no time and money for those niceties.
