...sabotage in Iraq is like blaming a sailor for rough seas. Unrest in the Middle East is beyond any nation's control. The borders of the nations were formed by European colonials and do not reflect the groups of the region. To the people, the borders are cultural and ethnic, not political. There is no such entity as "the Iraqi people." They are Shi'ites, Sunnis, Kurds and so forth. Violence was a way of life under Saddam Hussein's regime. It is not possible for outsiders to do what is necessary to keep peace in the region, nor would...

Indeed, consumers today have far more choices and, with their greater ethnic diversity and the blurring of gender roles, are far more difficult to stereotype. A woman who checked the "Hispanic" box on her census form could easily prefer Vogue magazine to Latina. "Not only is the world less homogeneous today, but even in the past, we assumed the world was more homogeneous than it actually was," says John Karlson, senior vice president of strategic development at Martin/Williams, an advertising agency based in Minneapolis, Minn. "People's identities are much more wrapped up in their hobbies, sports teams, political affiliations...
