But if Vito had lived another five years, would Carlo have done so as well?
And given Vito's low opinion about men that made their living off of women, would he have assented to murdering a woman just to get one up on Geary?
1. The fact is Vito died before Carlo, but he and Michael had planned every detail of what was to be done, and there is no question that Carlo's fate was sealed before Vito died. I can almost hear Vito telling Michael for the umpteenth time: "Now remember you cannot touch Carlo until you are certain Barzini and the others are already dead."
2. He would have considered the prostitute in Nevada to be collateral damage just as the prositute who died in bed with Tattaglia was. Vito's and Michael's opinion was
echoed by Hagen when he explained to the Senator that "this girl" had no identity, no family and it will be as if she never existed
