I believe Cho decided to lash out against what he could not be a part of. The debauched society had to be destroyed. A new development reveals Cho hired an escort a month prior to the shootings http://wsls.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WSLS/MGArticle/SLS_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1173350907846. It appears even an escort denied him entrance into the lifestyle that I feel he truly yearned for. Maybe this was the last straw that solidified the certainty of his plan. It appears that Cho saw this lifestyle he was denied embodied in the student body of VTech. His rampage was more of a punishment, and the suicide was an inevitable end both for wanting to be of the debauched but shut out even by an escort. I think the reality is he hated them, but he hated himself more because he was not of them. I agree with Paglia and with most of your premise.
