Abbas to be honest, real honest. Pakistans economy was doing lot better than India even until mid 70s. Pakistan's problem is not frienship with America but the fact that Pak could be messed up despite support from US..Thank the thick headed Pak military for that, and yes Islam as well. It is Islamism that killed the cat in Pakistan and an overdose of it came during Ziaul Haq..this moron single handedly took Pakistan to the middle ages. Ayub Khan inflicted the death blow to Pakistan, Yahya Khan dismembered it and tore it up with his genocide of Bengalis (mostly Hindus), and Ziaul Haq did the janaza...Musharaff will probably hve to bury it. America had no hand in it. It is only because US buys cars that Japan sells them and make money. India shold do the same.
