As a coercive instrument, the US executed a bombing raid on Libya,
Operation El Dorado Canyon, in response to Libya's state-sponsored
terrorist attacks throughout the 1970's and 1980's. Initially
hailed as a success, many authors, including Robert A. Pape, now
view the 1986 raid as a coercive failure because Colonel Muammar
Qaddafi did not completely abandon terrorism. In order to determine
the success or failure of a mission, the results must be evaluated
against the strategic (political) and tactical objectives for that
mission. In the context of what the Reagan administration was
attempting to achieve with Operation El Dorado Canyon, the mission
was undoubtedly a success. Even though it took almost two decades,
Qaddafi ultimately concluded that terrorism against the United
States should stop. Operation El Dorado Canyon was the leading
coercive factor in Qaddafi's eventual transformation. In order to
draw the conclusion that Operation El Dorado Canyon was successful
in coercing Qaddafi's "change of heart," this thesis will first
examine the violent history of Libya, which planted the seeds of
hate for the Western "Imperialist" nations, and the assumption of
command by Colonel Qaddafi. Next, this thesis will examine the role
Qaddafi and Libya played in numerous, highly visible, terrorist
attacks throughout the 1970's and 1980's, and the United States'
responses to the attacks prior to Operation El Dorado Canyon.
