@jenn: It's
"the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and "the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child"
not
"...Declaration of English-speaking Humans' Rights" or "...on the Rights of the Northern Hemisphere Child."

Cultural relativism means not sneering at people who eat locusts or burn camel feces for heating, it doesn't mean tolerating child labour, wife-burning or infant genital cutting.

What's so hot about not remembering pain? I remember various pains but I don't re-feel them, or even wince at the memory. Babies being circumcised, on the other hand, aren't expecting the pain, have no idea why it's happening and don't know when it will end, if ever. It must be beyond torture for them at the time. And while they may not consciously remember it, studies show they react differently to vaccination, months later.

@ted: or rather, you do it because you believe God told you to. The baby it's done to believes no such thing.

@pwscott: there are no "infections caused by excessive foreskin". "Excessive" in this context means "more than some doctor (most probably with none) is comfortable with."

@FishBottleT: a foreskin is not only easy to keep clean, it's fun!

@Another Tim: "...if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing." Gal 5:2.

@sandalian: does it not occur to you that if you had not been circumcised, you would also think your "snake" looks great (and it would have 20,000 more specialised nerves)?
