I think that the reight answer is:
Why the Westies should declare war to the Gambinos ?
When the Jacobi center must be build even the site was in Hell's Kitchen the Genovese started a war and won against the spillane gang.
Now even if the other westies wasn't a mafia fanboys they know that the possibility to made bussiness with italians for example the camion hikiacking and gave only the 10% to the italians was resonable same thing to be used as hired killers.
Second they haven't the men to start a war in 1978 there are (from a blackhandforum chart):
1)James "Jimmy" Coonan (1974-1988) First boss, Sentenced to 75 years in prison in 1988; 2)John "Jackie" Coonan Jr. (1974-1988) A soldier, brother of Jimmy Coonan, died of AIDS in 1988; 3)Bill Beatie (1974-1986) A soldier, formerly a member of the Spillane Gang, became an informant for the FBI in 1986; 4)Thomas "Tommy" Collins (1974-Pr) A soldier, sent to prison in 1988, released in 1997; 5)Francis "Mickey" Featherstone (1974-1986) Became Jimmy Coonan's second-in-command after Eddie Cummiskey was murdered in 1976, left the gang after becoming an informant for the FBI in 1986; 6) John "Johnny" Halo (1974-Pr); 7)Tommy Hess (1974-1982) A soldier, murdered in 1982; 8) Kevin Kelley; 9)Anton "Tony" Lucich (1974-1985) A soldier, passed away in 1985 10)James "Jimmy Mack" McElroy (1976-1993) A soldier, became an informant for the FBI in 1993; 11) Richard "Mugsy" Ritter (1974-Pr); 12)Richard "Richie" Ryan (1974-1986) A soldier, died of alcohol poisoning in 1986;
So if there are another men non listed are a small crew against almost 200 made men.

Wow so Paul was so afraid of a "glorified crew" that he had to personally meet with them and allow them to use the Gambino family name in return for 10% which is peanuts- just to control them and stop them whacking guys like affiliated with the Gambino's

how smart was Coonan? getting 75 years. so what tony salerno got a 100 years he was intelligent bobby manna he is doing life he was also very smart. James Marcello in Chicago Joey massimo he was smart look what happened to him looking at death pentatly and flips he was one of the smartest bosses in recent times. What you really need in that life is luck sure being smart helps but luck is alot to do with it.
Not connected with scott or anyone at gangsterreport
Sorry for the confusion

I remember that Doc on the westies and Bill Beatie said they had about a dozen or so guys in the gang at their peak so they were really no threat. lol, most of them were to drugged up to fight anyway over half ot them were junkies .
