Dangerous maneuvres

The US has sent another aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf as part of its sabre-rattling against Iran. Meanwhile, the NZ frigate Te Mana is also on the way there. With the US seemingly hellbent on escalating its war on Islam, we should be asking what our government intends to do if the shooting starts. Will Te Mana come home? Or will be be dragged into another American war, with no consultation or debate, because our government has chosen to put kiwi troops in danger?
