...I'll never agree with the idea of a brother ordering the murder of his own brother, especially one that was as simple minded as Fredo...
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.
