[quote=Anonymous]I have been following this thread for a while (when I should have been working) and even posted once, but some of the rhetoric coming from both camps reminds me of this one time a few years ago when I was walking on the National Mall. Right next to the Reflecting Pool there was this group of protesters holding signs saying things like "Cicumcision is child abuse". So I walk up to them and I say: "Look, I agree with you. It is a painful procedure with unproven medical benefits and performing it routinely on all newborns makes about as much sense as cutting everyone's tonsils out. But there is a war going on (Iraq). There is an idiot (G.W. Bush) in office. You managed to get a permit to be in this place, in the middle of the Cherry Blossom Festival, where you will be seen by millions upon millions of people, and this is what you are choosing to protest?" "Ah, but ask yourself, " said the man holding the sign, " who is waging wars in the world right now? USA, Israel, and the Arab nations. All of them circumcised! What better proof do you need that it causes permanent psychological damage?"[/quote]
