Felix, I was in Pakistan for 3.5 years in the mid-1970's in Karachi. I saw the overthrow Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto by Zia ul Haq and thought Benazir Bhutto to be really hot when she was 22. I took a Browning automatic 12 gauge with 30" barrels with me in 1975 but never used It and sold it before I left. I had a great great time there.
I was back after 9/11 for about a total of a year in country over several years in several cities including Karachi. As I said, I loved traveling in that country and really like Pakistan. There are Bhuddist tombs never explored north of Peshawar; Streams are still stocked with trout British style NE of Timergara and north of the Swat Valley.
In the 1970's I walked the streets of Karachi everywhere. I sat with repair guys as they hammered dents out of my Pak-made Jeep. You still see tourists to this day going up to the Shandur polo tournament between Gilgit and Chitral.

The country has spiraled into competing ethnic and religious mafias and only the Military remains a national institution.
Pakistan is South Asia...not Middle East though it sometimes pretends to be.
April 1978 in Baluchistan south of Dera Bugti (where I wasn't supposed to be) the day before Da'ud Khan was overthrown by the Parcham Communists in Kabul setting off the Afghan War. (Cribbed the cut off photo from my brother's post on Randall Knives.
