Is Pakistan really as bad as they show it in CNN or FOX, & is it comparable to states like Iraq or Afghanistan?

if you ask me, pakistan is very similar to india. all my family from india that visited pakistan did not really feel as if they were in a foreign country when they visited pakistan. both countries have growing economies and both nations will play much bigger world economic roles in the future. as for the terrorism problem, it is a major issue in the swat valley and in the areas neighboring pakistan but it is not a problem for pakistan as a whole.
