So as a Pakistani, you feel that the US has ignored the good of capturing all this Al-Qaeda.

So is it like the Pakiatanis would rather have the Taliban return ala 1990s and the Indians using their influence to support the Americans full fledgly?
Of course, the US is placing unreasonable demands on the ISI. Pakistan has done more in the war against terror than any other country in the world and has suffered more economic and physical damage as a result. Instead, the only thing the West offers is more demands. The West is fortunate in the sense that core upper echelon of the Pakistani political body is both pro-Western and corrupt. But just as the 90s sanctions made Pakistani Military establishment more Islamist oriented and more anti-Western, I suspect this dangerous double-games by the West will harm have an adverse affect in the long-run. The West needs Pakistan as much as Pakistan needs the West and this is the same conclusion reached by the 9/11 Commission. Pakistan is the second largest Muslim state in the world and home to hundreds of Nuclear weapons plus the means of delivering them in addition to being located in the most geo-strategic location possible. A fragmentation in Pakistan offers the West a Dooms-Day Scenario of untold proportions.

The Taliban are not fundamentally anti-Pakistan and asked to choose between an Indian-friendly administration in Afghanistan or the Taliban, overwhelming majority of the Pakistanis will choose the Taliban.
