I dont think Michael was an immoral person.
Putting ALL else aside, this man
ORDERED THE MURDER of his own brother!!!
He only did so after he thought (probably correctly) that that brother knowingly conspired to kill HIM!! To not mention that fact is grossly unfair. It's like saying "Harry Truman was a mass murderer because he ordered the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki" as though this occurred in a vacuum, without any mention of the larger context in which it took place.
VitoC, I just love your analogies!
1)Again, this topic is not one that should morph into a political debate for this thread. Let's save those political debates for the General thread.
2) The debate as to if Fredo
knowingly conspired to set up his brother to be killed is one that has been debated for years on these boards. Personally I do NOT think that Fredo INTENTIONALLY or KNOWINGLY conspired with Ola and Roth to have his brother Michael killed.
3)Please don't sit here and tell us that Michael was not an immoral person. There are several definitions of the word immoral and ALL describe and define what Michael Corleone became.
a)
Tending to corrupt or resulting from corruption.b)
unscrupulous OR unethicalc)
deliberately violating accepted principles of right and wrongd)
dishonest
