The USA is the only country in the developed world that circumcises young children for non-religious reasons. And the "phimosis" Japanese are so fixated on isn't true phimosis but simply the foreskin not retracting totally, something common in young children. Only extreme cases of actual phimosis do require circumcision, which is the only case in which circumcision is actually an advisable procedure. In my opinion religious, and bizarrely, non-religious circumcision (in the USA) is nothing short of genital mutilation. If adults want to do it for any reason, sure. But forcing it on children is simply cruel.
