That X happens is not evidence that Y caused X.
True, however, enough correlation over time certainly can make one
wonder about a causal relationship. Look how many terrorist attacks
occurred under Clinton or were planned under Clinton and how many
occurred under Bush's watch. We obviously won't know the effectiveness
of the Bush approach for another decade or so probably. However, if we
consider than a large attack takes probably 1-3 years to plan and
execute, if the Democrats dramatically change the approach to dealing
with terrorists and we see a return of attacks after a 1-3 year lag
time, I'll certainly be willing to believe there is a connection.
