NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!

Why should Korea be guilty. Cho came to the United States as a child
and has lived here most of his life. If anything, the system failed him
for recognizing his troubled psyche.

Tell the Koreans what one young man did does not reflect on their
nation at all. The shooter happened to be Korean, no other Koreans
should feel guilty for his crimes.

My brother is an American who lives in South Korea (and Virginia, for that matter). We spoke about this briefly on the phone this morning and he promised to elaborate on it once he returned home. (He is enroute to S.K. as we speak.)

He thinks that the reason for the guilt is a cultural difference -- that family and honor are more important in Korean society and that having one of "their own" do such a deed brings dishonor and shame.

He might be able to provide me with some insight that I would be happy to share with you but that could be days away. In the meantime I would simply say that Americans do not hold the nation of South Korea responsible for the actions of this one, very troubled young man.

I would leave it at that.

Neverdie--

Welcome to A2K.

I would no more hold the Country of Korea responsible for the shootings at VA Tech than I'd hold the State of Virginia (where Cho spent much more of his life) responsible.

I do consider the Koreans as some of the hundreds of thousands of people who have been affected and afflicted by one young man's insanity. They have my sympathy because they completely lacked responsibility and are helpless in contemplating the carnage.

Maybe if he came from NORTH Korea,
it cud be argued that the commies put him up to it.

Under the instant circumstances,
Korea did nothing rong.

I think the fact that he was deranged, insane, etc. outweighs the fact that he was Korean. We can't blame anyone else but him for what happened, certainly not a country half-a-world away.

It wud have been good if,
( based on his insane manifestations b4 he ran amuk )
we had deported him to NORTH Korea.
