What he was worried about was that Sol would make a move against him to force him pr Sonny to reverse his decision not to accept Sol's deal. That wasn't irrational, it was business. Where Vito slipped was in the next sentence: "Go to the Tattaglias, tell them you're not too happy with our family..." as if anyone would believe that Luca would abandon his Don--or that Vito would allow Luca to ply his deadly trade for another family.

I doubt “Michael blamed Tom for Sonny's death”


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
