812 Questions
What are the political problems in Libya?
The Libyian currency is pegged to the US dollar due to the USD being used as the global reserve currency.
When a currency is used as a reserve, a foreign state must use it as the medium of exchange on international markets.
As the USD is printed through the process of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve (for the purpose of lowering interest rates, and monetizing debts), countries which need the USD to make international purchases must also print their currency in order to purchase all of the new US dollars to maintain the currency peg. As they print, the value of their currency declines resulting in rising asset prices (inflation).
As the cost of goods rises, people with low wages can no longer afford to buy basic materials, and their standard of living falls severley, resulting in civil unrest.

Reagan ordered the bombing of Tripoli after the CIA determined that Libyan secret forces bombed a night club in West Berlin.
The bombing was the most direct action the U.S. had taken against Libya, but not the first. The U.S. Navy had been engaging Libyan planes and ships in the Mediterranean Sea since 1981 in waters that Libya claimed and the U.S. disputed as international waters.
It is important to note that Gaddhafi, the leader of Libya, was viewed with deep suspicion much in the same way that Saddam Hussein and now Ahmadenajad. All made the same "death to America" saber-rattling speeches.
It may be deduced, if it is not accurate, to say that the 1986 bombing of Tripoli lead to the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 by Libya.
Is Libya a limited or unlimited government?
This question is rather difficult to answer since, as of 2016, Libya is in the midst of a civil war. However, the last stable government in Libya was the government led by the Caudillo Qadhafi. That was certainly an UNLIMITED GOVERNMENT; there was no rule of law when applied to Qadhafi or those he deigned to support.

Was the F-15 eagle in Libya shot down?
No. The F-15 eagle was not shot down by any AA Missile launchers(anti-aircraft missile launchers). It crashed in Libya but no pilots were killed. The pilots of the F-15 eagle ejected from the aircraft by jumping out of the plane with the parachute behind them. Somehow they managed to land safely on the ground.
Gadafi - "we shot down one of the planes!"
Allied Forces - "The plane had engine problems!"
Aircraft's are some of the most advanced technology and they often don't crash but when it comes to the military testing and pushing the technology to the brink they can run into problems. So if you know aircraft's you can find very in-demand jobs!
