All our terrorist problems were born during the Clinton years.
Maybe should read "All our major ..". Seems to me it started in late 60s/early 70s with PLO, Fatah(Arafat) etc, airplane hijackings, Munich Olympics etc and escalated thereafter.

Unless you're taking the word our to mean the world's terrorist problems, the word major isn't needed.

The PLO, Fatah, and the Munich Olympics terrorism weren't specifically targetted at us. US-targeted terrorism was, for the most part, unorganized and sporadic until the 90's.

The terrorism problems Morris is addressing are specifically those targeted at the United States.
