All very good points.. One thing none of you guys mentioned... something I believe triggered something in Michael.. something even Sonny mentioned, was the fact McCluskey hit him. I truly think if that night at the hospital McCluskey would have simply told Michael to leave or had him arrested, then Michael would not have suggested/executed the hit on McCluskey and Sollozzo. It was that utter disrespect to both Michael and The Don that helped decide Michael's fate... if he would have done nothing about it.. he would have been treated and looked down on, like Fredo was...
