Pakistan is failing as a state because they are unable to reconcile between their religious fanatic parties, their fuedal landlords who have clinched on to power through politics and their power hungry army. Their intelligence agency is destructive, bent upon causing more trouble to their neighbours and create an atmosphere of mistrust between neighbours. Corruption, lack of education, elitist ranks in army and bureaucracy, religious fanaticism, ill educated mullahs and this inexplicable desire to rule over Kashmir when they can't govern what they have - has caused problems for them. They have some nerve blaming America.
