Is a “War of Liberation” covered under the Catholic Just War theory?

I mean a war to liberate someone else.

Paleos (not to mention their liberal fellow travelers) might reflexively sputter out “No!”.

But then, the First Crusade was a war of liberation, and it was judged as “just”, not only by the combatants at the time, but by almost everyone in the West until relativity recently.

So, seriously, what do you think?
