I only endorse circumcision in Cleveland. Otherwise, as to male circumcision practiced for religious reasons, I am decidedly pro-choice. Many biblical figures were circumcised, and they enjoyed life spans we can only dream of!

Have you been to Cuba? How do you know they are castrating young boys there?

Are you really concerned about oppression, or just oppression in Cuba? If it's oppression generally, perhaps you'd like to devote just a little time to telling us of your views of how the U.S. should relate to its staunch ally Saudi Arabia. Embargo their oil? Hmmmmm? Here's some reading material:

An interesting snippet from the report:

Saudi Arabia does not permit any criticism of the state. All parties or political organizations in Saudi Arabia are illegal. The slightest challenge to official policies arouses the wrath of the government and invariably results in retaliatory action. In almost all cases, that action involves the violation of basic human rights.
