From a moral point, I blame the British more than the Germans, since the British were using human shields to protect war materials.
Now, from a more practical political perspective, the whatever war cargo was on the Lusitania was not worth the risk to Germany (although, as it turned out, it still took nearly two years for the US to get upset enough to get involved int he war).
