Unfortunately, Mr. Riedel too does not want to state the obvious and truth.
Truth #1: Pakistanis hate Americans. Giving them aid won't help. You give them 100 billion, their politicians and army will be grateful to you, but the common man will still hate you. And thats partly their fault, partly yours.
Truth #2: Pakistan will not and does not want to make up with India. Fact is, they are not that much afraid of (or worried about) India, rather their desire is to see India crumbled. All their actions are to that aim, which keeps damaging their state further.
Truth #3: To solve Afghanistan, you need to deal with Pakistan. To solve Pakistan, you need to deal with India. To assure India, you need to deal with China, which you cannot. China wants the same with India that Pakistan wants, and they won't listen to you anyway. And Pakistan will listen to China more than they do to Americans.

you cannot obviously outsource dropping nukes to america which it anyway wont do bcoz pakistan has been cleaning americanDirtyA55 all along the coldwar times. so its upto india to develop both its conventional and nuclear capacities secretly and swiftly to a level where neither pakistan nor china could challenge us either with conventionally or nuclear weapons. that day we will find a solution to all this problems.

if pakis with army- capitalism has become a failed state, china with party-capitalism is also going in the same direction. if usa, eu and india sustain and maitain their democracies, depite defects, the 21st century will be theirs to dominate.
the UK never forgave india getting her independance; the pakis never forgave india for the dsseparation they got from the subcontinent. even today musharreff is guiding the isi and al quida only from the UK. if usa really wants to bring pakis to discipline, they should make UK stop playing favouritism to pakistan, allowing its anti-india elite to operate from the brittish soil. if uk delays it, jihadi-terror will hit the uk even more than pak or india, bec decision-makers for pak operate from uk only.
