Sorry. Thought my reference was obvious.Yawn.
When you think you have something other than correlation, please let us know.
LOL, other than "correlation"?
(cor·re·la·tion: mutual relation of two or more things, parts. Synonyms: similarity, correspondence, matching; parallelism, equivalence; interdependence, interrelationship, interconnection).
You're implying causation when all you have is correlation.
When you can show causation, let us know.
Cause is always hared to pinpoint; for there are too many variables - dependent and independent - in the world of politics. War is the failure of politics (I don't recall who first said this) but if you had read the Statement of Principles, and looked carefully with some foundation of who signed the document, it is not beyond the world of reason to believe war with Iraq was coveted by some.
And that's the issue, the direct cause is the President of the United States decided he wanted to invade Iraq; the Congress (foolishly IMHO) gave President Bush the authority and the signers of the document (likely) encouraged our unprecedented invasion of a country which had not directly attacked our own.
