I think a root cause of Pakistan's failures is its not really one country. They should split off the ethnically Pashtun areas, which aren't really under government control anyway. I think then Pakistan might be able to create the sense of unity that could pave the way for a successful transition to democracy.

The Pashtun areas might still be a breeding ground for terror like they are today, but I'm not really sure - if they were forced to form a national government they might get more interested in modernization and development and less interested in extremism. You'd have to do it right.
