If your standard is based on how Bush went into Iraq and did a regime change but has been unable to restore normalcy, and that saying "mission accomplished" is success then yes Pakistan can be declared a success by those standards. And so could other situations like N. Korea, Syria etc. My standard of measuring success is when the situation in a country is restored to normal. Pakistan is the den of the "madrassas", the very place which breeds "anti-Americanism". Exterminating those to prevent young Muslim minds from being infected, having regular elections, free and unfrettered like it happens in neighboring India are some of the measures of success. Rubbing noses with a military dictator, who was initially opposed to the US but had to seek US protection in the face of 3 assassination attempts on his life, is no measure of foreign policy success in Pakistan.
