A-Bomb detonated? What would we do?

This is a question I started to think about today. For what reason, i have no idea, but here it is:

Lets imagine an atomic bomb was detonated in the center of a major American city. No one in the government or anyone who would give up this information knows who detonated the bomb. We do not know the motive behind the detonation. We also do not know the origin of the bomb. The bomb could be anything from an old russian bomb, to a newly created bomb from a country such as Iran or N. Korea, from one of our own allies, or even one of our own bombs - we don't know.

Now, other than the rescue efforts and such, what do you think the U.S. government would do in this situation? What do you think the average citizen would do? Would there be riots? Would there be a mass exodus from the U.S.? Would there be martial law? Would we mobilize to attack, and attack another country? If so, what country? Would we launch our own nuclear attack? Would the living envy the dead?
