If you have a democracy, people are the king. If you have a dicatator, then any country which influences him always has a big role to play.
There is no reason anyone should be sypathetic to Pakistan. It was always involved in trying to destabalize it's neighbours for the benefit of the US. Well, since its neighbours are either completely destroyed or going great guns, there is not much Pakistan can do for the US.
The only thing left is Osama and his generals. But once these guys are caught, there's nothing left with Pakistan to give the Americans. The missile defence shield will be in Central Asia. The US cannot afford to lose India or China.... and vice versa. Pakistan cannot play a strategic role when it comes to Iran.. so theres not much left for Pakistan other than Osama.
Let a democracy be installed in Pakistan and things will improve for them. IF they continue with another dicatator, then it will be again a case of blackmail from both the sides.
No pity for Pakistan administration. They deserved it.
