Abstract
I hypothesize that U.S. citizens’ support for the counterterrorism policy of their government is, in the main, determined and explained by the various ways in which they have come to understand terrorism, security, and the history of U.S. engagement abroad. I test the hypotheses by way of an ordered probit model. The empirical findings lend support to the hypotheses.
Keywords
