There is no other drive so powerful than the desire to mutilate another's genitals. It was easier to tear down the Berlin Wall and end communism in Europe than it is to end genital mutilation. Millions of males and females the world over are deprived of the right to normal intact genitals - and the question is why?
One effective tool in the propagation of this dehumanizing practice is the never ending search (a study) for reasons to legitimize and promote it. There has always been some claim of a medical benefit to popularize circumcision. As soon as it became evident that a claim had no validity you could be certain that there would be another reason to replace it. There is no limit to the extent these demagogues will go in order to pursue their goal - the genital mutilation of baby boys (who ultimately become men) in North America and other countries in the world.
The media has been the greatest promoter of male circumcision in North America. They are always ready to publicize the latest research in Africa, India, or some other remote part of the word indicating the possible advantages of circumcision. Why these studies were not done in North America, or why the results could not be confirmed by similar studies in Canada or the USA are never explained. Nor is there ever any explanation as to the relevance of studies done in Africa to justify circumcision in North America. As an example, several studies claim that circumcision prevents the spread of the AIDS virus or STD, yet advocates of circumcision are unable to explain why the USA (where the majority of males are circumcised) has the highest rates of these diseases of any industrialized nation in the world.
