has he become a detriment to any peace process?

The Pakistani president receives 60 million dollars a month, that's a month, from the Bush administration to remain on speaking terms with Bush.
Pakistan's president is not interested in anything but saving himself and his presidency which he is failing to do. At any point in the next few weeks, he could be deposed.
If this happens, al-Qaida and fundamentalist Islamics will then take control of the government and possess their goal--the ultimate weapon, nuclear missiles.
India and China should be worried. India probably is, but China is sitting back and watching the current conflagration between the West and Islamics. China plans to take what's left.
None of this bodes well for the United States citizens who may find, at best, their sons and daughters drafted and their country bankrupt from the Islamist conflict. At worst, we could face domination by another power such as China or devastated by nuclear warfare.
None of these things had to happen; but, globalists in the guise of the Bush administration seized power in this country. Globalism does not work and the plummet in the stock market is only a small part of the backlash against this threat to American freedoms and the sovereignty of our country.
The American people face hard choices in the months to come, including whether to take down the Bush administration and install a new administration that is capable of cleaning up this mess, including the one in Pakistan.

I don't think cutting him off would be good at all. We did that in 1979 in Iran with the Shah and look what we got! Instead, what we should have done then and what we should do now with Pakistan is pressure President Musharraf to return his powers gradually to a democratically elected civilian government.

I agree with Bobanalyst, he can be used for leverage and bargaining for his region of the world. These countries can be controlled through use of sanctions and other financial constraints, a tactful practice of diplomacy, something that the current administration lacks...

He is in a very tough position of being a puppet dictator for the US while battling Muslim extemists. He will eventually be overthrown and Pakistan will become another Iran.

He's barely holding onto power in a nation packed with terrorist sympathizers - that also has nuclear weapons.
Do you think letting his governement topple is a good idea?
