How little we know about Cho

Newt Gingrich blames liberalism, the Sunday Times of London blames "a feminised society." So many opinions, so little enlightenment about the Virginia Tech tragedy.

    Mental illness, anyone?

    Isn't it a forgone conclusion that Cho was mentally ill? Can we really be spending this much teeth-gnashing on society's role in making him pull the trigger? At most, the societal influences proposed thus far would stand as mere aggravating factors. The issues we should all be discussing here are how to diagnose and treat mental illness and how to prevent the mentally ill from obtaining weapons.
