Why did he shoot people?
In the frame of mind that he was in it could have been anybody, anywhere that he shot. He appears to have been suffering from deep depression, and had become angered at the different standards that wealth and privilege have created within his environment.
He was not a terrorist per-se, he did not do what he did for any religious, political, racial, or ideology. He appears to have done it out of what he viewed as years of mistreatment by the American social system. He was a loner (probably due to not having very much money to spend on social activities).
Many times when young people are cut off from interaction with others, they develop feelings of non-acceptance by those around them. They may feel their isolation is being forced upon them because others view them as lesser human beings. The fact that they are so isolated fuels the feelings of anger and frustration that they have. (Much as keeping a dog chained without contact will make the animal vicious.) since they feel they are not a part of the environment around them, their world becomes the one they make for themselves.
Many of your serial killers develop their ideas after years of abuse and isolation. No.. I wouldn't categorize Cho Seung-Hui as a terrorist. Just a lonesome mentally depressed young man, who's anger was mixed with thoughts of revenge and had access to large capacity handguns. One of his teachers saw troublesome events about to unfold in a creative writing story that he had turned in. But his state of mind was ignored by the system.
If you are looking for something to place a blame on, I would suggest that we blame the system. Too often people of this nature are ignored and just viewed as "odd" characters. Too many times these "odd" characters have access to weapons. Look at the political supporters of firearms during any election. Who supported them during the elections of 2000 and 2004? These are the same people who will want to label this as "an unfortunate incident" and wish for it to go away.
If you want to blame "someone", blame them. They use the right to bear arms as a mechanism to get votes and be elected to office. And the beat goes on................

South Korean is not the same thing as Chinese...that's like saying Americans and British are the same...I don't think his nationality will have any bearing on his motive though.
And he wasn't a terrorist, he was a mass murderer. A terrorist kills because he has an agenda. A mass murderer kills for lots of other reasons but usually global politics isn't one of them...
We may never know why he killed those people. I suspect that now that the police are going over some of his more disturbing writings we'll get some clue. But how he ever got that far gone will probably never be answered to anyone's satisfaction, least of all the victims families.
All we can do now is keep them in our hearts and in our prayers.

Well, the kid was actually South Korean. I think experts will be trying to figure out what made this kid do this for quite some time. I don't think this could be thought of as terrorism because terrorism is a political tool used to strike fear into a group of people and make them question their safety and the effectiveness of their government. I haven't heard anything about this kid being motivated by anything political. It sounds like from what one of his professors was saying about his writings that this kid was just angry to be alive.

He was South Korean. Not Chinese. That's a big difference

He was Korean...same difference. He shot them because he felt like he didn't fit in there, and everyone was making fun of him.
No, he is not considered to be a terrorist.

You should really educate yourself before you embarass yourself by posting such a question.
He was Korean, not Chinese.
To answer your question, I would define him as a terrorist, yes, because he was out to inflict harm on innocent people because he was fed up with a situation that had nothing to do with those innocent people.

I don't understand the outrage. 33 is a good day in Baghdad. Here is a perfect story, even the same number of victims. Where are the candle vigils here? Where is Bush here? Will he also come to shake hands with the families of those victims? Surely not...

He's what you call "A terrorist at home." Everyone is so worried about the terrorists over seas, when really, we have plenty of them right here in our own backyard.

He was Korean.
And terrorists have political motives. So far, we haven't seen a political motive. So he's a mass murderer but not a terrorist.
