Well it seems that they don't like the US very much, and they aren't
as concerned about Terrorism as they used to be.

"That’s not all the poll found: Pakistanis are freaked out about their
economy; highly anti-American; and less concerned about terrorism than
they used to be — although that latter part might not be such a bad
thing.After a $7.5 billion aid package passed Congress last year to
bolster Pakistan’s civilian government and reeling economy, here’s
what the U.S. has to show for it: Pakistanis exhibit as much
anti-American sentiment as any populace on earth. According to Pew, 59
percent of Pakistanis consider the U.S. an enemy, and only 17 percent
consider the U.S. a friend. “Pakistanis give the U.S. its lowest
ratings among the 22 nations included in the spring 2010 Pew Global
Attitudes survey,” the poll notes. You have to go to Egypt or Turkey
to find similarly negative views of the U.S. in Pew’s findings — a
fact, perhaps, that helps contextualize why the Pakistani intelligence
apparatus funds U.S. enemies in Afghanistan, as WikiLeaks reminded us
this week. Still, 64 percent say they want better relations with the
United States.

Then there’s Pakistani attitudes on terrorism, something the poll
considers ominous. “As Pakistani forces continue to battle extremist
groups within the country, nearly all Pakistanis describe terrorism as
a very big problem,” it warns. “However, they have grown markedly less
concerned that extremists might take control of the country.”
Specifically, 69 percent worried in 2009 that the Pakistani Taliban
and affiliated groups might rout the government. Now only 51 percent
feel that way. Is that necessarily bad
