Although I agree with this cartoon's stance on what passes for Neocon "thought", it does really miss the boat on Plato. In The Republic, Plato frankly demonstrates himself a casuistic liar and unreservedly endorses a few smart people hoodwinking the masses for...of course...their own good. If only Rove weren't a relentless idiot, Plato might really like him.
