I think we should get the "department of strategic influence" to pass it around that these earthquakes are god's punishment for harboring these terrorists and US forces are the "terrible swift sword of god's judgement".. Let them know that they might be able to harness our civil airliners to commit their attacks, but the US can harness the very forces of god's creation to punish them... :0) Hawk

Maybe the theory that incessant bombing can set off earthquakes isn't so farfetched. Another quake hit Afghanistan this week. Aftershocks are hampering rescue efforts: The amount of energy release in a quake can dwarf a nuclear bomb, let alone the little fire crackers called conventional weapons... Things like bunker busters and daisy cutters are fire crackers compared to an earthquake. Maybe if you put a bunch of them right on a critical point in a fault line where a lot of stress had built up these bombs could release the stress and trigger and earthquake but I doubt that US bombs had anything to do with Afghan earthquakes.
