This is an interesting article, that updates some of the societal reasons and scientific publications that surround the debate on male circumcision rates in the United States.
While I do not wish to comment on the societal aspects or the human rights aspects, it would be interesting to see follow up scientifically designed, objective studies on the following three aspects:
1. The relationship between circumcision and HIV Infection
2. The relationship between circumcision and penile cancer
3. The relationship between circumcision, non - circumcision and general genital hygiene
I think the results of the three studies will allow a clear picture to emerge...

A clear picture has already emerged. MOST of the US men who have died of AIDS were circumcised at birth. Circumcision is no AIDS vaccine and STDs are not a pediatric issue.
If you think those 3 studies answer the question you would be missing the point that the issues you want to avoid discussing are the one's that make it wrong to circumcise. Especially the human rights issue.
