In my life time the Pak Rupee from almost a little less than a dirham has gone to 1dh= a billion rupees. Inflation, crime, unemployment on a ever rising curve and all within my living memory.
My parents travelled most of Europe in the early to mid 80's. Pakistanis were given visa on arrival in countries like UK, and just needed to fill out a form for visas for USA, japan etc etc. Now try travelling with a Paki passport. There are I think 10 unkown island nations which give Pakistani nationals visa on arrival.
Screw that I refused to go to the phillipines via hong kong last year because even while transiting through the hong kong airport I needed a visa and an immigration offcial would " escort " me during my 4 hour transit through the airport.
Right about now no one wants to touch a Pakistani with a 10 foot pole, one must ask why is it so ? and blaming the media and India is not an answer.
As for the Nuclear argument that the west is after Pakistan because it is Nuclear armed, which my be true to some extent, but honestly speaking I myself am scared of the dumb @ss tribal pathans in charge of the north west of pakistan rightnow getting hold of it. If this ever happens they just might be responsible for wiping out the entire human race of the face of the planet.
In all due respect I would be a "Proud" Pakistani If there was something to be proud of.
bro Pakistan started from NOTHING. Imagine this. You are Gandhi and you had to give the muslims their own country, would you:
a) give them where india is now?
b) give them their own country next to afghanistan?
if you give them a) it would be better then b) because a) has better infrastructure then b). meaning you would have elecrticity, water, an army etc.
But the fact is that they were given the SHITTEST part ever. and now the best thing they do have is taken away from them i.e Kashmir which the indians see as a HOT tourist spot. Also all your main rivers are in Kashmir, so the water is coming from there but guess what Indians have already set up dams in Kashmir which have dried up rivers in Pakistan.
Read the histroy and you will be suprised how it has been used by USA especially during the Soviet Cold War Era and during the Afghanistan war. Yeh during those crisis Pakistan politicians benefitted not Pakistan.
After 9/11 again Pakistan Politicians benefited but Musharif (however bad he is) did make sure that dollars were spent on education. The fact now is your Zardari and his cronies around him are eating the dollars and not spending it at all on Pakistan.
Honestly speaking I think you should be proud of who you are because conditions are rubbish there and the population is 100 Million. Yet I am amazed how ppl survive everyday. surviving from cold, hunger, thirst, no jobs, corrupt politicians, bent law system and terroism.
The pathans are making noise because they want change. They know what the USA is up to. Apart from the fact that Pakistan has nuclear bomb, it is also siting on. a source from other forum

and

and also the fact is that they are sitting on Uranium.

Not sure how good is your chemistry but Uranium is the source to Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Power.
And not many ppl know this but

All these are in the Pathans area. they want their own state because they know how corrupt the guy sitting in Islamabad is. so either they get their own state or they change the system in Islamabad.
I would rather say they change the system and get rid of the top guy.
Taliban is a "monster" created by Western Media.
Who apparantely rape women etc etc. Just like 9/11 was fake so is everything they say about taliban.
