Due to US pressure and Pakistan being a coalition partner to fight against terrorism has to withdraw its unofficial support from Pakistani militants, the same elements have turned their guns on its benefactor (Pakistani army).
Security officials walk past the crater of a bombing and destroyed school in Timergara, the main town in Lower Dir district, located in Pakistan's restive North West Frontier Province on February 3, 2010.
Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan have claimed responsibility for the bomb attack on Wednesday (Feb. 3, 2010) that killed three American soldiers, a spokesman for the network claimed in a telephone call to AFP. “We claim responsibility for the blast,” Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Azam Tariq said, calling from an undisclosed location. A bomb planted outside a girls' school killed three US soldiers in the Lower Dir district.
The basic factors of Pakistan chaotic foreseeable future;
a) Political, differences among President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani trying to unseat each other with natural Army chief Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and US firmness have prevented chaos. It remains to be seen for how long, can the situation be contained.
b) Dependency on foreign aid mainly from US, which has provided $ 11 billion 
in last few years benefiting Pakistan military from US surplus stocks of P-3 maritime aircrafts, F-16 fighter jets, Apaches attack helicopters, C-130 Hercules. Saudi Arabia has been providing Pakistan with free loans and oil. There are other donors Paris Club, European Union, Japan, IMF, World Bank, Asian Development Bank & Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Foreign aid dries up during the process or reaches different pockets which halts the country infrastructure development due to lack of funds.

d) Pakistani army has played an influential role in mainstream politics throughout Pakistan's history and damaged the democratic society (system) beyond repair. General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq introduced the Islamic Sharia legal code, which increased religious influences on the civil service and the military.
Pakistan madrassas have been expanded during the rule of the dictator General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq (1977–1988). The expansion occurred both because of the growth in Pakistan's population and because their students (especially the Deobandis) used to fight the Soviet Union during the Afghan war (1980–1987). Later on the Taliban also had links with the Deobandi madrassas established by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam. Today Taliban is interlinked in Pakistan and Afghanistan destabilizing the region and rest of the world.
This year 2010 will be the indicator, If Pakistan will climb the ladder of prosperity or further slide to choatic polticial and economic depression.
