Perhaps, can't remember the name of the fault except that it ran under the skyscrapers downtown. Elysian Valley ... I think that's it.

The timing here is very very interesting.
Let's put 2+2 together here.
Last week ? Iran gets hit with a similar earthquake.
The big spinned up hoopla in the media ?
Andrew Card quits and the talking heads say now that Karl Rove has complete control of the White house staff now.
Today ? we get the news of ( Once again ) another earthquake in Iran.
Someone is warming up the ( Super Duper Deluxe Electro Magno Rove Earthquaking machine ).
Karl Rove ? keep up the good work.

The seismogram of Iran's earthquake this morning shows that this was a natural, not a man-made event (such as a nuke test).

Hypothetically speaking, if the Iranians get fully functional nukes from Russia, there is no need to test them.

Only if they used them within 60 days of getting them.
The high-tech maintenance issues for nukes is non-trivial, and runs contrary to most urban myths about them.
Also, keep in mind that nukes leave a unique radiation signature much like DNA. We'll know who built the nuke, where the uranium was enriched (or plutonium bred) shortly after any surface or aerial detonation anywhere (sub-surface can take up to 90 days depending on depth and rock formations above the blast)...something that Russia, China, Pakistan, or France would not appreciate some 15 minutes later (ICBM travel time from the U.S. and from our Boomers at sea).

I hope we would respond. We never did respond to the anthrax (unless it did come through Iraq). I dont buy the cover story that we do not know where it came from.

The anthrax was Iraqi as best that I can tell, but apparently we can't blame Hussein unless we find anthrax (or biological growth material) in Iraq...due to politics and PR fallout.
President Bush isn't shy about knocking out foreign leadership that attacks the U.S.
Libya's Khadafy certainly figured that fact out in a hurry.

The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 5.0 and was centered near Boroujerd and Doroud, two industrial cities in western Iran, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Hours later, it was followed shortly before dawn by two weaker aftershocks and a third tremor with a magnitude of 6.0, IRNA reported. How often is there a stronger aftershock than the preliminary quake...
