[Cicero]

Well, in the first instance, I'd say he hates both the burkaed woman AND the condom shop. But he's pointing out that the liberal readers who are so eager to support the terrorist cause had better worry about their condom supply.

In the second instance, he's simply pointing out that in different times the political constraints on waging war are different. Whether or not nuking Hiroshima was a good idea is a matter he doesn't really get into. Whatever you think of it, it's not possible just now.
