		In the early 1970s, Qaddafi had turned to the Soviet Union to purchase billions of dollars worth of military equipment, with Soviet technical assistance also provided, that Libya could use to intimidate its neighbors.
		Emboldened by the lack of an effective U.S. or NATO response, Qaddafi went a step too far in 1974, when he claimed the Gulf of Sidra as territorial waters--a move clearly in violation of international law--and then became a major sponsor and supporter of terrorism.
		Taking a more aggressive stance than his predecessor against the Libyan dictator, President Ronald Reagan ordered the Nimitz and Forrestal aircraft carrier battle groups (CVBGs) to cross Qaddafi's self-proclaimed "Line of Death" and enter the Gulf of Sidra.
