writer dude,

you are right that the axis of evil is the socio-political injustice present in today`s world (whatever its causes may be) but you fail to see that Islam is responsible for making people pursue non-productive and even self-desructive ways as a reaction. It is up to the ideology the people follow, to show them an efficient way to solving their problems and Islam, being a tribal way of life, is clueless in showing people any better way. its high time that you get rid of the god who has unlimited reservations in `jannah` for suicide bombers.

may your god have mercy on you by ridding you of him.

The episode only points to the fact that like Cho all those Islamist Jehadi Mujahids who have commited such acts in the past are most likely to be MENTALLY ILL individuals like Cho.
I think we need more mental asylums to treat our mentally ill desperately.

Ken Duckworth, MD NAMI Medical Director`s Statement a professor of psychiatry from harvard
``Cho Seung Hui, the shooter in the tragedy, may not actually have had a serious mental illness relative to other diagnoses.``

There are many murders and mass killers who are not diagnosed mentally ill after all.To sweep every mass murder under the rug of Mental illness is too easy a police workand security lapses that do not justify the extra orbitant emphasis on preventing such tragedy

If one looks at the chain of events and the selcetive evidence that is made public so far, there remains no doubt in my mind that the whole Cho thing has been planted after the fact. One scenario might be that the real killer killed just another student by shooting him in the face and planted his weapons on him and escaped pretending to be a student.
