Is Pakistan a friend to USA?

Recently, from Afghan issue,I hear a lot bout Pakistan. Its surprising that US has'n in close military & economical ties with Pakistan through various treaties since 1950. Paki sided with USA in Vitenam,USSR, Gulf and now on war on Terror. Contrary to what is shown on CNN, majority of people in Pakistan's urban area ( around 30% of pop) are westernized. Half million Pakis live in USA as an extremely prosperous, peacful & successful community. Still majority of Paki support President Musharaff who is a well known supporter of USA. Historically, Right wing Islamic parties could never gain more than 15 % votes in any election. Still I can't understand why people in USA consider Pakistan a fundamentalist state or anti-USA. I think majority of us dont realize that after Afghan war we left 3 million Afghan refujees there which r uncontrollable. They r major source of violence in Pakistan & elsewhere and provide cover to Taliban. When Pakis try to push them to Afghanistan UN stop them...

    Well...all i can say,,,is....let US stop its aid to pakistan...and see what happens when u want a terrorist freely living in Karachi to be extradited. Well....they are gonna tell US to take a hike. yup...thats right...it has always been about money that US provides pakistan. Didn't u hear about pakistan's peace treaty with Al Qaeda...well....considering that Bin Laden is the head of Al Qaeda and no peace treaty could have been possible without his concent...doesn't that look suspicious...

    9/11 is the result of US's friendly policies towards pakistan. Also...China is using pakistan to get military knowhow of US technology...which is transferred to pakistan. Most of China's military hardware is copy of US military hardware...which was sold to pakistan.

    SO ITS UP TO U TO DECIDE...IS PAKISTAN A REAL FRIEND OF US????????????

    Yes, for the most part. The Pakistani Government is a friend to the US and stood firmly with the US on 9/11. When many Muslim countries put there head in the sand Pakistan was there helping. There is however a faction of the country that has ties to Afghanistan.
