What exactly is the war going on between the U.S. and Pakistan? Is it because the U.S. though Bin Laden was in Pakistan? Also is that war and the Afghanistan war still going on? From what I researched, they still are.

What exactly is the war going on between the U.S. and Pakistan? Is it because the U.S. though Bin Laden was in Pakistan? Also is that war and the Afghanistan war still going on? From what I researched, they still are.

Answer 1

"... the war going on between the U.S. and Pakistan" -- I didn't know the US was at war with Pakistan.

The war IN Afghanistan is not the US vs the Afghan govt. The US is supposed to be helping the Afghan govt fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban.
