Vito would have seen no virtue in a war. He would negotiate a resolution probably not unlike the one he agreed to at the Dons' meeting.

By the way, Tom tells Sonny at the bottom of the stairs after Vito returns from the hospital: " ... let the smoke clear -- Pop can negotiate.

SONNY: "No, Pop can't do nothin' til he's better! I'm going to decide what's going to be done."
