I don't know. I tend to agree with KTOG from when we discussed this long ago. The first crusade was easily justified with the invading Muslims. The second crusade.. that's when it started getting a bit shady, but still I can kind of see what they were thinking because Zengi had a HUGE army for the times and had already sacked Edessa, with no real signs that his intent was to stop there.
