[/quote] He does, in greater detail actually. "I never thought you were a bad consigliere, I thought Santino a bad Don, may his soul rest in peace. He had a good heart but he wasn't the right man to head the family when I had my little misfortune. And who would have thought that Fredo would become such a lackey of women ? So don't feel badly....."
Sorry DC, I know this belongs in the book thread [/quote]

So there shouldn't be an agument then, If The Godfather himself recognized Sonny as a Don then Sonny truly was a Don. I think Sonny knew that compared to his father he wasn't a Good Don. But Vito is a hard man to compare yourself to in the regard of Donship. I think Sonny knew that he was doing the best he could and didn't care what anybody else thought. But then again this is something I am very unsure of, which is why I posed the question on the board.
