To some extent in current times.
Here is the economics:
- 180 million people and numbers increasing.
- Shortage of jobs.
- Double-Digit inflation.
- Cost of Living increasing rapidly.
- Gap between rich and poor increasing.
- Industry not working properly.
- Impact of War on Terror.

Now imagine if US imposes heavy sanctions, enforces blockade in Arabian Sea, and ends all trade with Pakistan (its allies will do the same too), what will be the consequences of all this?
Pakistan will sink very fast and become another Afghanistan.
Do we want this?
There is a limit of everything. Currently we are not in the position to stand up to this new threat. Look around you - the covert war of US inside Pakistan has been going on for several years now. Thousands are dead because of it.
What can our military do at maximum in current circumstances? Fight for some days and when the reserves run out, then what?
We need to stand on our feet first if we want our nation to not be treated like a banana republic. Better to be prepared then sorry.
If Pakistan succeeds to eliminate only the last point in your list, all the point you mentioned above that will be solved automatically.
