I don't want to speak for Littlehawk, but I took his comment to mean that when a baby cries during circumcision it would be easy to attribute the crying to something other than the pain, since the baby cannot speak.

I too, wonder how parents can listen to their child cry as a result of a mutilation that they sanction. Anyone who says that it doesn't hurt the baby is in denial.

As far as AIDS being related to the uncircumcised, why aren't the older generation effected? They aren't circumcised. You'll have to come up with better evidence than a map to prove a link to AIDS.

The facts are on the table and people can choose according to their own conscience at this point. In the future, I am sure we will outlaw circumcision as a barbaric tradition. Until then, you can soothe your conscience any way you want.

Personally, I think it is personal choice that should be made by the individual and nobody else.
