I think what it really boils down to is that fact that Pakistanis are there only for names sake. The can never be loyal to their country. If you study the history of people of this region since the time of Alexander every invader has literally walked over their land to settled elsewhere. Their final destination was either India, China or the far east, so people from this nation are always on the move. Yes you can make cliche statements like its a free world and we have choices but the truth is Pakistanis themselves know their choices are very limited. Democracy is not possible in this country, it never was, Muslims are unsafe their mosques, leaders who would like to bring about secular ideologies/change are murdered (i.e Salman Taseer, shahbaz bhatti etc), I am not even going to start on corruption, they lost Bangladesh in 1971 due to their arrogance ironically Bangladesh went on to becoming a democratic country. So in a nutshell Pakistanis possibly cannot be loyal cause they are constantly fighting among themselves. Well enough of history, its boring anyway.
