The key moment in the film is when Michael justifies killing Capt McCluskey by saying, "It's not personal Sonny. It's strictly business".

I kige this. McCluskey was just a gangster with a badge. There was no more dishonor in killing him than there was in killing Solozzo.

Michael wasn't supposed to be a mafioso. Both Vito and Michael wanted Michael to be "legitimate". The war with the Tattaglias kept that from happening. THen Michael tried to start over in Nevada and become involved with legitimate industries, only to discover that the "respectable" world was dirtier than the Mafia.
