去年5月，印度总理瓦杰帕伊授权在拉贾斯坦邦沙漠沙地下进行一系列核试验。当余震仍在世界各地的地震仪上记录时，他宣布印度是一个拥有核武器的国家。15天后，巴基斯坦总理纳瓦兹·谢里夫声称，他别无选择，只能与一个敌对的邻国相匹配，他下令巴基斯坦在俾路支省的查盖山进行一系列试验，并宣布巴基斯坦也拥有核武器。这些试验立即引发了全球的谴责。总共有152个国家--大小、发达和发展中国家--表达了反对意见。许多国际组织也是如此，包括八国集团主要工业化民主国家、东南亚国家联盟区域论坛、美洲国家组织、北欧部长理事会和伊斯兰会议组织。他们都认为核试验是双重挫折：为了南亚的和平，也为了阻止核武器扩散和控制危险技术的国际努力。对美国南亚政策的影响也很严重。这些爆炸破坏了美国旨在改善其与印度和巴基斯坦关系的倡议
Last May Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee authorized a series of nuclear tests beneath the desert sands of Rajasthan. While the aftershocks were still registering on seismographs around the world, he proclaimed India a nuclear-weapons state. Fifteen days later, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, claiming he had no choice but to match an adversarial neighbor, ordered Pakistan's own series of tests in the Chagai Hills of Baluchistan and declared that his country, too, had nuclear arms. The tests spurred immediate global condemnation. In all, 152 nations?large and small, developed and developing?voiced their opposition. So did numerous international organizations, including the G-8 major industrialized democracies, the Regional Forum of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Organ ization of American States, the Nordic Council of Ministers, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference. They all saw the tests as a double setback: for peace in South Asia and for interna tional efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons and control dangerous technology. The consequences for American policy toward South Asia were also severe. The explosions derailed an initiative by the United States to put its relations with both India and Pakistan on sounder
