And I'll never agree with the idea of a brother conspiring with a rival against his Don, who happens to be his own brother, knowing full well the deadly business they were in, admittedly for his own personal gain.

Simple minded as he may have been, Fredo wasn't a half-wit. He was responsible for his own actions. He would've known full well upon agreeing to work with Roth/Ola that...even WITHOUT the attempted hit...his life was worthless if Michael found out.

And it's true...anyone who refuses to understand this wouldn't make a very good Don. (But then, who among us would...???)

Oh, and by the way...in that fishing boat, at the end...Fredo didn't know what was coming.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
