"Cum Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc" (With this, therefore because of this)
Assuming causation on the basis of correlation is a logical fallacy that marks much of bad science and politics.
Here are a handful of links, some entertaining, some informative on the "Cum Hoc" fallacy:
"Correlation Implies Causation (Logical Fallacy)", Wikipedia
"Correlation or Causation?" Jonathan Mueller
"New Poll Shows Correlation is Causation", Happy Hour Archive
"Correlation and Causation", Peter Federer
