See the problem is, some people watch too many movies (esp. bollywood) and apparently it moulds their perception on reality. Getting back to the facts, YES the pakistan economy is in bad shape, YES we are facing terrorist insurgencies within our country and YES our nuclear programme's safety has been questioned not just by the massive indian media but the international media as well.
Now what most people fail to see is the reaction of such implications, they just perceive that things will continue like this and we shall "sit quitely in our homes and wait".
As far as the economy is concerned, it will take considerable time to get up specially after this world recession. So slowly, it should revive back. Following article gives details as of 24 August 2009 the credit rating of Pakistan has been raised to 'B-' from 'CCC+' and genral deficit down to 4.4% from 7.4%.
S&P raises Pakistan rating to 'B-', outlook stable
Just a little insight that things shouldn't be expected to remain the same and actually improve in the future.
With regards to the insurgency threat, it has been 'almost' successfully wiped out. Baitullah Masood is gone, remaining militants are quickly becoming demoralised and just yesterday 105 terrorists surrendered including a local comander.

A small refernce with context to the insurgency threat, now effectively dealt by Pakistan.
As for the nuclear safety programme, and I quote Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell: "
I can just repeat what you have heard time and time again from Chairman (Joint Chiefs Staff) Mike Mullen and Secretary (of Defence) Robert Gates that they are comfortable with the security measures that the Pakistani government and the military have in place to ensure that their nuclear arsenal is safeguarded," Source:

So the point here is, there will always be people who say they don't like you and they're better, who say they don't like your car and theirs better, who say they don't like you shirt color and theirs better. And what THEY say is absolutely right.
(P.S. I'm sure everyone has come across such a person, atleast once in there life). Not realising that you don't 'sit quietly' and do what is necessary. Is there anyway to make the situation 'easier to understand' for such people?
