The lack of position on their part can be just as easily written off as politics. Why make millions of parents feel bad about their decision to cut their baby boys. The evidence isn't conclusive enough to suggest they are harming the children so why rock the boat too much.

You will notice though that the Australians, where circumcision is not prevalent, take a more decisive tone.
