ResumoAbstract Since the Iraqi invasion of Iran in 1980, numerous observers and scholars have alleged that the United States ‘green-lighted’ Saddam Hussein's decision to go to war. This article scrutinises the green light thesis by examining US and Iraqi documents that have recently become available to scholars. These records reveal that the green light thesis has more basis in myth than in reality. Preoccupied with issues such as the Iran hostage crisis and the implications of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Carter administration officials neither expected nor welcomed Saddam's attack on Iran. The Iraqi dictator, for his part, believed that Washington would oppose rather than support his war.

[8] The US government has recently begun to make these records available to interested scholars through the Conflict Records Research Center (CRRC) at the National Defense University. In this essay, captured Iraqi records are cited by CRRC number, title, and date. [9] The apt comparison is probably to the first tranches of Soviet and Eastern bloc records to become available following the end of the Cold War. While these first releases provided only glimpses into Kremlin and Soviet bloc decision-making, they nonetheless allowed scholars who combined these materials with other available sources to break new empirical and analytical ground in assessing a variety of subjects.
