The nifty thing about sitting in the White House is you have enormous resources at your disposal and can make decisions that will change the course of events.
The drag is that you are held accountable for your watch - you get to figure out what to do to cause the right result, but if you fail, you lose. Bush decided to wage a war on terror by invading Iraq; he had other choices he could have made, but this is where he spent his resources, and we get to judge him on the results.
Now that you're talking cause and effect and correlation, perhaps you'd like to explain to me just what effect invading Iraq was intended to have?
