I lived through much of the 80s certain that a nuclear strike would occur. This was a vivid recurring nightmare for me...
If it were to happen today under the circumstances described above (i.e. no idea who did it or where it came from -- could have been an Amercian terrorist for example).
I would say for sure that Martial Law would result, if only for a little while.
The Admin would search desperately for a scapegoat (or true culprit) and find one regardless.
I wonder if America is a whole nation would survive? It would depend where it happend geographically. I could see some states succeeding in the chaos. Distancing themselves from the Administration where possible (California, Oregon and Seatle going it alone, Texas, Nevada and New Mexico says see ya y'all).
I see large corporations taking over the nation when the government finally bankrupts itself in a war to end all wars.
