I don't think so. Think back, prior to 9/11, how many folks in the US were worried about terrorism? Close to zero; it wasn't an "issue". After 9/11, it was THE issue What's your point? That public support for a counter-terror campaign rose after 9/11? Granted. Still, when Clinton called on public support for the use of the military, he got it, think Kosovo, think even Desert Fox. If he had chosen to notice the African Embassy bombings or the Cole attack, he could have done a great deal more than Berger's legal-political calculations. But he was occupied with Monicagate and the Arab-Israeli negotiations, and left the terrorism question to Berger and Clarke.
