Please don't tie the tragedy at Virginia tech with this just because the word "Korean" is mentioned. This is the same kind of witch hunt mentality that has led to anti-American sentiments worldwide. Just because one Korean does something horrible, it doesn't mean that Koreans have anything to do with it. Would it be any different if someone white or black did it? If you're thinking that it would be different, then you have some issues to deal with. This kind of tragedy should be beyond the level of trivial politics or petty patriotism; everyone, no matter what race or political affiliation should weep for the victims.

That's right -- I hear that plastic surgery is really popular in Korea.
Perhaps that's what Cho should have tried before he decides to kill everybody...get a second life with a new face.
