So didnt Vito risk everything, his life? the ability of his friend Tommasino to walk...just to get revenge on Ciccio?
Good point.
But I'd bring up the business/personal distinction. I think Vito would say that the revenge on Don Ciccio was personal. But he'd agree with Tom that the Sollozzo incident was business, and pure vengeance has no place in the realm of business.
