He had to have some kind of uneasyness within himself. He was smart enough to realize that if he did not play this out to the tee, he not only would lose his life, but his family would lose whatever power it had left and the Corleone's would be no more. Let's remember, this was not a plan that called for getting up close and blowing his enemies away. This was a plan that had to be carefully calculated, one that had to have the proper people in the right place at the right time, people whom he could trust, a plan that involved traitors and mistrust, and the future of The Corleone family was riding on this plan. Basically it was winner take all.
